No worries.

The stretch capability in McIDAS is piecewise linear.  In order to create
a pseudo-log scaling, you will need simulate a log curve with a number of
linear segments.  The process for doing this is, admittedly cumbersome, but
it is not too hard especially if you incorporate the series of SU commands
in a BATCH file as this will make it a lot easier to go in and tweak segments
to get the effect that you are looking for.

Cheers,

Tom
