Binary scalling is still used in many [[digital Signal Processing|DSP]] applications and custom made microprocessors are usually based on binary scaling techniques.

Binary sclaingscaling is currently used in the linux [[microwindows]] release to linearise [[touchscreen]]s.

It is also used in the [[DCT]] used to compress [[JPEG]] images in utilities such as the [[gimp]].

Although floating point has taken over to a large degree, where speed and extra accuracy are required, binary scaling is faster and more accurate.
