in Workbench

Hi guys, I am new to Workbench and I've been working on sTEM data sets for quite a while now. Any idea or tips on how to adjust the min-max of the section colour scale without being "subjective"? any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    HI @TristanDelaCruz were you able to get this resolved? @SimonBotkerRasmussen are you able to share any tips?

    Hi @PrachiChitkara , unfortunately not at the moment sorry - still working on finding some tips online. Been trying to adjust the min-max color manually but not sure if it's "objectively" correct (?). If you guys can share some tips that would be great. Thank you!

    Hi @TristanDelaCruz that's an interesting question that you have raised. I don't think the issue of subjectivity around geophysical colour scales is unique to Workbench and therefore any principles/ideas around minimizing subjectivity within Workbench would be the same as what you apply in other geophysical methods and software. But since you are new to Workbench, perhaps let me share this link to webinar that one of our colleagues did around color scales in Workbench.

    I think if you are looking at conductivity data in Workbench, it makes sense to use the log scale since resistivity values span a wide range of magnitude.

    • Document your settings (min, max, log/linear, palette) to give transparency to readers/users
    • Fix scales when comparing multiple sections/maps so your readers focus on geology, not shifting colors
    • Do you best to be data driven and also avoid the influence of some outliers.
