Following code shows that "log(imageData, base=2)" is broken.  Could it be fixed?  Thanks!!

Thank you for reporting the issue!

The observed behaviour was caused by a missing definition of the log method for Image objects.  Unlike the rest of Math group generics, log has an extra formal argument which makes such specific definition necessary in order to capture the base argument.

This is now fixed in release, EBImage version 4.12.1.

Cheers,

Andrzej
