The sampling theorem also applies to post-processing digital images, such as to up or down sampling. Effects of aliasing, blurring, and sharpening may be adjusted with digital filtering implemented in software, which necessarily follows the theoretical principles.

==Critical frequency==
To illustrate the necessity of <math>f_s>2B,</math> consider the family of sinusoids generated by different values of <math>\theta</math> in this formula:
 
:<math>x(t) = \frac{\cos(2 \pi B t + \theta )}{\cos(\theta )}\ = \ \cos(2 \pi B t) - \sin(2 \pi B t)\tan(\theta ), \quad -\pi/2 < \theta < \pi/2.</math>

With <math>f_s=2B</math> or equivalently <math>T=1/2B,</math> the samples are given by:
