Hi,

two hopefully relevant points:

- phenix.refine always produces an MTZ file that contains the copy of 
all inputs plus all is needed to run refinement (free-r flags, for 
example). So if you use that file for deposition you have all you need.

- Unless there are strongly advocated reasons to do otherwise in your 
particular case, you better use in refinement and deposit the original 
data and NOT the one touched by any of available these days magic sticks 
(that "correct" for anisotropy, sharpen or else!).

Other comments:

Phenix supports complete input / outputs of mmcif/cif format. For 
example, phenix.refine can read/write model and reflection data in cif 
format. It's been this way for a long time now.
