Reasons for Different Scales
Log
SQRT
Linear
Squared

• 1. The Log scale emphasizes the faintest regions.
• 2. The SQRT scale emphasizes faint to medium
  bright regions.
• 3. The Linear scale emphasizes medium bright to
  bright regions.
• 4. The Squared scale emphasizes only the
  brightest regions.
