Hi Colin,

You can "work with magnification anisotropy corrected images without
issues up until
particle polishing". After polishing, however, you have two opposing effects:

(1) You have better dose weighting and trajectories, which improves the
resolution
(2) You lose magnification anisotropy correction, which degrades the
resolution

Whether the final resolution becomes better or worse depends on which
effect wins.
For example, if anisotropy is very large, Bayesian Polish will compare an
undistorted
reference with distorted movies, and resulting trajectories will be very
bad. Then
the effect #1 is small and #2 is large and probably you end up loosing
resolution.

If you have huge anisotropy and really want to apply both magnification
anisotropy correction
and Bayesian Polishing, you have to write anisotropy corrected but
non-motion corrected
movies and work on them. This requires lots of disk space, but should work
in theory (untested, though).

Best regards,

Takanori Nakane
