How Do I Obtain a TIFF Image of My Mud Log?

Due to the uncompressed and voluminous data characteristics of TIFF images, they make for very substantial files. Since the images are so large, they are very difficult to send as email attachments. This leaves us a few options for delivery:

Client side generation - (Preferred Method)

• In this method the Client generates the TIFF image as often as they like using the built in tools and data found in the MainLog software. 
  
• To generate the TIFF image, simply click on “File” from the MainLog screen. Next choose “Save as Image” from the menu. You will be prompted for the type of image file that you would like to create. Next you will be prompted for the depth interval. After you hit “OK”, the program display a message showing you where the image you created is stored. MainLog stores the image in the “Bitmaps” directory found in the MainLog folder. Please refer to the built in MainLog help manual for further information. The manual can be found under the “Help” menu options.

Short Intervals

• This method is self explanatory and simply involves sending smaller pieces of the mud log. 
  

Direct Mail

• Once logging operations are completed, you can request a TIFF image be sent on CD. This data CD will be sent along with your final paper copies.
