It's a "what you see is what you get" , basically a render that has not been retouched in any way in an image editing software.

No post work is the image is as rendered by Poser or whatever rendering program without further manipulation an image manipulation program such as Photoshop. In the early days of Poser the Hair and clothes wer often postwork... now people seem to shoot for "photo-realistic" renders and use postwork to smudge out bad polys and figure creases and bends or add contrast control and photographic grain effects. I often just export my screen display and postwork my images into "digital" oil paintings or watercolors in Corel Painter or trace renders and use them to make real watercolors, guaches, and oil paintings... that would constitute heavy postwork ;)

They are there so that you can still access old work that was created with them (which you don't have, obviously, but others might) or add-ons which require them.
