Hi @CryoEM2,
I apologize for the delayed response, and that you’re facing this issue. In case this issue is blocking your processing (and for posterity), I believe the simplest current workaround would be the following (inserted between steps 2 and 3 above):
Step 2A. Run an Exposure Group Utilities job combining both particle stacks as input, with the following:
- in the
combine&setmode, with, - the
Combine Strategyparameter astake mode - the
Input Selectionasparticle.
This step will combine the particles with different aberrations (but in the same exposure group) and set each aberration to its most common value across the whole dataset. Then, downstream refinements should be able to start without encountering the posted error.
We have noted to do this check/combination automatically at the start of refinements
Best,
Michael
