Hi Benoist-
It is relatively straight-forward to generate both dose-weighted and non-dose-weighted averaged frames outside of the RELION workflow using Unblur / Summovie. You can then create symbolic links to the appropriate set of micrographs (e.g. non-dose-weighted for CTF estimation, and dose-weighted for particle extraction) in RELION’s “Micrographs” directory before initiating that stage of processing. As long as you maintain the same file names, RELION’s star files are agnostic to the contents of the actual images. Please feel free to contact me off-list if you would like more details of how to do this. However, if you are just running the tutorial, it might be faster to simply re-process the data using MotionCorr2.
Best,

Hi Benoist,
The unblur wrapper does not write out the average without
dose-weighting. So I'm afraid the use of non-dose-weighted averages for
CTF estimation is currently limited to motioncor2. This is merely an
implementation limitation of the wrapper. Not an inherent limitation of
unblur.
HTH,
Sjors

In that case, the MotionCorr/job002/corrected_micrographs.starshould have 2 columns, one like you have and another one called _rlnMicrographNameNoDW with the _noDW.mrc micrograph (without dose-weighting). You are using the latter to estimate CTFs, but it is not part of your star file. Perhaps this one was made in 2.0? If so, just use the dose-weighted micrograph to estimate CTFs and it should work.
