Improving Visualization of Data and Diffraction with Contrast Functions

To view the data better, we create two versions of a contrast function, the first (normalcontrast) is useful when we wish to view the entire range of intensities, the second version (highcontrast) when we wish to resolve differences at the low-end of the intensities.

In order to view the data better, we wish to develop contrast functions. Experience suggests that it is useful to construct two type of contrast, this one, normalcontrast will be used as a ColorFunction when we want to resolve the entire range of intensities.

This second version, highcontrast, will be useful when we wish to resolve differences in the low-intensity region. Note how the colors change rapidly in the lower region.
