==Processing==

Raw seismic data look as much like an image of the earth as a hamburger looks like a cow. An enormous amount of computer and human effort is required to transform raw seismic data into a usable image. Each step involves many user-supplied parameters that can change the result—maybe a little, maybe a lot. In short, [[Basic seismic processing|processing]] should rightly be coupled with the interpretation process since the processor makes decisions affecting data quality. However, this is rarely the case because few individuals possess sufficient expertise in both areas.
