A graphical representation of an image of a subterranean formation along with log properties of the formation provided in a single graphical representation. Logged formation property values are coded into graphic representations of images of the formation in order to provide a graphical representation which allows the user to visually perceive the formation images and the logged formation properties simultaneously. A method may include receiving an image of a formation, the image including image values based on the formation, and also receiving a log property of the formation, the log property including log property values based on the formation. The log property values of the formation are correlated to corresponding locations in the image. A transfer function with the image values and the correlated log property values as inputs is determined. Based on the transfer function, a joint graphical representation of the image and the log property is rendered.
