Digital anti-shake tools (Image Stabilisation also called) allow taking strong hand pictures where previously a tripod was required. SRLs work with digital RAW images contain unprocessed image data straight from the camera sensor.
Since the data are not processed on the camera the photographer will do it on your computer in order to obtain other useful formats such as TIFF or JPEG. This method offers the flexibility of the results regarding exposure, lighting, white balance, contrast, color saturation and greater creative control and image.
