Cool!

```julia
colors = to_colormap(:balance)
n = length(colors)
alpha = [ones(n÷3);zeros(n-2*(n÷3));ones(n÷3)]
cmap_alpha = RGBAf0.(colors, alpha)
scene1 = volume(a,algorithm=:absorption,colorrange=(-3,3),colormap=cmap_alpha)
scene2 = volume(a,algorithm=:mip,colorrange=(-3,3),colormap=cmap_alpha)

```

 ![mip_alpha](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/f/e/fe776ac0972a2f0ff98e514b68c2ccaa29633e0e.jpeg)  
That’s much improved, but `:absorption` is still muted (the colors are washing together?) and `:mip` still only catches the high range. Is colorrange the wrong parameter for this?

Contours look like this:

```julia
scene3 = contour(a.σ,levels=[-3,3],colormap=:balance)

```
