CRUSE offers powerful tools for image processing. Nevertheless, it is important to us that our scanners initially provide completely unprocessed raw scans which have not been optimized or otherwise digitally modified. This is because, with any applying of filters or algorithms that change the scan data, there is always the danger of irreversibly distorting important details in the image. This approach leaves the customer to decide how and when digital filters should be used. 

An example is digital sharpening. Although digital filters often provide a good result, there is no algorithm that perfectly guarantees a good result on all resolutions and lighting variants in combination with each source material.
