Hi Andreas,
The simple answer to this is that you do NOT
attempt to redefine the background. Providing the additional spots
shown in your image belong to the same lattice, mosflm will
automatically exclude pixels from adjacent spots when doing the
background plane fitting, so you need do nothing. It helps to have a
larger box size because the background plane is better defined.
To answer your question, you need to go to Settings - Processing
Options - Advanced integration in imosflm, then the top 5 lines
define the measurement box parameters, changing the box width and
height should do what you want, although you may need to uncheck the
box Optimise overall box size to stop the box being made bigger again.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Hi all,
I'm integrating data from a crystal with a fairly long axis. In
iMosflm (1.0.7), the background definition is so generous that
plenty of pixels from adjacent peaks are included (see attached).
Can someone tell me how I redefine the background to be tighter
around the spots?
Thanks.
Andreas
