Hi COOT users,

I was looking at the COOT tutorial and saw the following explanation:

/*"It can be educational (even useful at lower resolutions) to sharpen or blur a map. This can be achieved with the sharpening tool Calculate -> Map Sharpening.... By default, the maximum and minimum sharpness is +/- 30Å^2, this can be changed (in this case to 80) using:*/
/*
*/
/*(set-map-sharpening-scale-limit 80)"
*/

On COOT, I see it now goes to +/-200, meaning the current minimum and maximum sharpness is +/-75Å^2
??

In the COOT mail archives I found the following reply by Paul Emsley:

*/It scales all amplitudes (whichever you chose when you read in the mtz file) by the application of a negative (or positive) B-factor. So the scale factor is a function of resolution and nothing more (at the moment)./*
*/Paul./*
So just to clarify, the sharpen/blur sliding ruler scales ALL original B-factor's by an identical value and the it ranges from +/-75??


I think your confusion is due to the out-of-date documentation.

For me, the sliders go to + and - 200... which is the range of B sharpness available - by default.

The sharpness of a map can be adjusted with reference to a model.

Oh dear - that's not right.

I meant to type say that sharpness of a map is adjusted without reference to a model :-/

Paul.
