Hi Chiara, There several parameters you might try to improve for a specific dataset. --local_radius 1024.00 default value seems a bit too big, though more stable. For micrographs with better SNR, try to reduce this weighting radius. --local_overlap 0.50 larger value, say 0.8, is always better, but the speed is slower. --local_boxsize 512 300-800 all seem to work OK in most cases, but do try to see which works best. --write_local_ctf specify it for diagnosis, not necessary for batch processing. P.S. Note the current local power spectra weighting scheme and local CTF refinement strategy implemented in GCTF was >4 years old. Though I believe it works well in most cases, there is always some room to make it better and things have been slightly improved in many aspects in the newer versions. I will release it at some point when I settle down in US. Best wishes Kai > Hi Chiara, > You don't have to convert your particle into .box format. Simply specify _autopick.star for the --boxsuffix.
