Comparison of Exponential and Logarithmic Curves

Exponential Curves and Logarithmic Curves have

similar shapes. They are different, however, as the

following diagram illustrates:

This characteristic can be used to even more finely tune

the effect you are trying to achieve. For example, the

top and bottom curves in both the Log and Exp

diagrams (Factor 40 and -40) above are shown together

below:
