NeuraView Map & Well Log Viewing, Editing & Printing
NeuraView is the solution to display, edit, process, annotate and print large documents. NeuraView will read any standard TIFF, JPG, BMP, PDS, PDF, CGM, EMF, and LAS image (color, grayscale, or black & white) and will display that image in the view window. From this interface, you can scroll, zoom and rotate the image. Save and print any desired isolated portion of the image.
Large documents, such as maps and well logs, require special equipment for scanning and printing and special software to view and manipulate with fast scrolling and zooming.
The need for printing large documents arises as a result of working with and viewing these images. Few desktop publishing and CAD applications have the ability to print large documents. NeuraView was developed as a low-cost solution that can quickly view, scale, crop, and print the large images used in your analysis and digitizing work.
“I recently purchased NeuraView. I have tried a number of image handling software packages and have encountered limitations with all of them – as the page length increased, the image degraded. I want to thank you for providing a real solution to my large log viewing and printing problem.”

Working with Large Documents
For years Neuralog has been in the business of working with paper and electronic documents. Large documents, such as maps and well logs, require special equipment for scanning and printing and require special software to view and manipulate them on a common desktop computer. Document manipulation such as fast scrolling and zooming has always been a core part of the Neuralog products.
The need for printing large documents arises naturally as a result of working with and viewing these images on your desktop computer. Although various desktop publishing and CAD applications offer a print feature, few, if any, have the ability to print large documents, from the typical user’s workstation, in a timely manner.
Neuralog recognized this technology void and produced a solution that allows our customers to print the images they use.
NeuraView is a lower-cost Neuralog product that can quickly view, scale, crop and print the large TIFF images used in your analysis and digitizing work.
Printing
- Scale or Fit-to-Page print selection
- Tile images to multiple pages Width and/or Height
- Original document or stitched/cropped documents you create
Scanning
- Integrated with the NeuraScanner Well Log Scanner

Frequently asked questions
What is NeuraView?
NeuraView is software for viewing, editing and printing well log images and digital log files. NeuraView helps users review, enhance and annotate well log files.
Which file formats does NeuraView open?
NeuraView opens raster image files (scanned or rendered pictures of a document): TIFF, JPG, BMP, PDS, PDF, CGM and EMF, in color, grayscale or black & white. NeuraView also opens LAS (Log ASCII Standard) files, which hold digital curve values instead of a picture; NeuraView displays them as log tracks with customizable scales and the well header.
Can I view raster logs and LAS logs together?
Yes. Open both, then choose Window → Correlation View. View → Lock Scroll scrolls all windows together for simple log correlation.
Can NeuraView scan?
Yes, when used with NeuraScan and the NeuraScanner. File → Scan Image launches the NeuraScan software, which interfaces directly with the NeuraScanner.
Can NeuraView convert a long TIFF to PDF?
Yes. NeuraView can convert TIFF to PDF and PDF to TIFF. Batch tools for multi-file processing are available.
What is Instant Rescan?
Instant Rescan is a NeuraView feature that quickly converts grayscale log images into optimized black-and-white images. By adjusting the threshold, you can improve curve visibility, remove background noise and enhance the quality of scanned logs before digitizing.
Why would I use Instant Rescan?
Many scanned logs contain gray backgrounds, faded curves or scanning artifacts that can interfere with digitizing. Instant Rescan lets you immediately test different threshold settings and produce a cleaner image for more accurate curve extraction.
Does Instant Rescan require rescanning the paper log?
No. Instant Rescan works with the existing digital image. It reprocesses the raster image using new threshold settings without the original paper log or a scanner.
How does Instant Rescan improve digitizing accuracy?
By converting the image to a cleaner black-and-white format, Instant Rescan can make curves, grid lines and text more distinct. This often improves automatic curve detection and reduces manual editing.
Can I try different threshold settings?
Yes. Instant Rescan lets you experiment with different black-and-white conversion settings and immediately view the results to find the best image quality for your log.
Does Instant Rescan alter the original image?
No. The original scanned image is preserved. Instant Rescan creates a new processed view while leaving the source image unchanged.
When should I use Instant Rescan?
Whenever a scanned log appears too light, too dark, faded, noisy or difficult to digitize. It is particularly useful for older paper logs and low-quality scans.
What is Document Markup in NeuraView?
Document Markup lets you add text, arrows, lines, highlights, symbols and other annotations directly to log images and documents. The markup can then be permanently applied to create a new annotated image.
Why would I use Document Markup?
Document Markup is ideal for interpretation notes, quality-control reviews, training materials, presentations and documenting geologic observations directly on a log image.
What types of markup can I add?
NeuraView supports text annotations, arrows, lines, boxes, circles, highlighting and freehand drawing tools to help communicate important information visually.
