Hi our lab has been using Focus to prescreen our data. We’ve noticed that when we import the data sometimes the image isn’t read by cryosparc correctly and puts the left edge of the image somewhere areound the middle. This yields a big black bar down the image were its essentially wrapped the left and right edges of the image to meet. Has anyone else seen this and know how to fix it?
Hi @hansenbry,
Can you check if the output data from Focus is in a non-standard format (MRC mode) or if there is an extended header?

Hi @apunjani here is the output of the header info:

Tilt axis rotation angle = 0.0It looks like these files do have an extended header of 8064 bytes (http://www.ccpem.ac.uk/mrc_format/mrc2014.php). We will be rolling out the fix for this in the next release!
By the way, this has been fixed and released. Thanks!
