-->Important note on handedness<--
To obtain the correct handedness in Warp for both the map and during CTF processing, we did the following steps.
1)after .eer processing in Warp, run the .tomostar step. During the first "import tilt-series from IMOD" step where .st and .rawtlt files are exported, make sure that the "Don't invert tilt angles" box is NOT ticked.
2)After Aretomo reconstruction, tomograms are flipped using the imod command trimvol -yz, to match the handedness of tomograms reconstructed by Warp
3)After tomogram reconstruction generating the .xf alignment files, run the "import tilt-series from IMOD" step again, make sure to TICK the "Don't invert tilt angles" box
4)The map handedness is now correct, but the handedness is incorrect for CTF estimation. Start processing a single tomogram and click stop processing. Go to the Fourier Space tab and run the check tilt handedness feature. This will give a negative correlation and recommend flipping the handedness. Click OK to flip the handedness for CTF estimation. This will not affect the map handedness. Slightly adjust the CTF fitting range (to reset the tilt-series that was already processed) and rerun processing.
