Matthew & Nat, Thanks very much, your answers made me much clear about the map manipulating, as well as usage of Refmac and FFT. Just from my results, I think I agree with Nat that "Sigma" and "Weight" is unnecessary when running FFT based on a Refmac-resulted mtz file, since my "A1.map" is exactly same as FWT of "A.mtz" in Coot.
Again thanks for your help!
