How to remove transform from kriged data?

Hi,

I have some elevation data which I interpolated using ordinary kriging, and didn't get great error results from it:

mean error: -0.02
rms: 0.31
average SE: 0.46
mean standardized: -0.03
rms standardized: 0.66
average standard error/rms error: 1.48

I applied a log transform to the data and got much better results.  However, the DTM is kind of meaningless when it displays the log values.  Is there any way to remove the log transform and display it as normal elevations once it has been interpolated?

Thanks.

From the help (http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00310000000s000000.htm)

If the interpolation model you build uses one of the kriging methods, and you choose to transform the data as one of the steps, the predictions will be transformed back to the original scale in the interpolated surface.


If you transformed the data within the Wizard then a back-transform is automatically applied.
