Image Clean-up

Ordinarily, images are scanned WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).

Some image filtering is possible during scanning, such as elimination of background 'noise', de-speckling and de-skewing.

With the exception of batch cropping, stray marks, smudges, spills, staple outlines, spots and other unsightly damage to your documents can only be removed through manual erasure. This is optional.

Manual erasure and cleanup is obviously a time-consuming process that can increase the overall cost of a project. For that reason, it is often ignored where high volumes of documents are involved.

Image clean-up enhances the appearance of your documents as image files . . .

It can usually be ignored if your objective is text extraction or OCR conversion, unless there is degradation of text.
