Since the scanned image is not as exact as the original, necessary changes are to be made. This makes the image look closer to the original. The changes are made by sharpening the image.

Changes can be made wherever necessary, thus enhancing the image. Various damaged images are also corrected by scanning them. Scanning also preserves the original image if it is required for future use. Printers also help to obtain the scanned picture in which changes are made. Thus, scanning tools help us in various ways.
