Dear Pavel,
I had a try today for feature enhaced maps on 3.7 and4 A resolution 
datasets.
The maps look great and I feel especially at low resolution this new 
tool  helps a lot to interpret the maps.
I would be very much interested to test the fem for e-densities 
calculated from experimental phases. Is it possible in the future to use 
heavy atom derived phase information instead of a model to calculate FEMs?
Best wishes,
Guenter
