Hi ChenTiantian, the R-factors and I/sigma are bad even at low resolution where the first icering does not influence the results. Thus, the problem with your data processing has little to do with the icerings. I guess that the indexing is not correct. My suggestion: 1) using adxv or a similar display program, note what the inner and outer limits of the ice rings are. These values should be used as parameters for the EXCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGE= keywords in XDS.INP, not the provided ones (which are meant for hexagonal ice). 2) start XDS from the INIT step 3) use at least half of your DATA_RANGE as SPOT_RANGE 4) make sure that ORGX and ORGY are correct - mis-indexing is in 90% of the cases due to a wrong origin. In fact, just estimating ORGX and ORGY from the first frame, using adxv or XDS-viewer, seems to do a good job.
