Hi, dear all, 
       There are always some imaginary frequencies in the output of ph.x, whether it is in the calculation of transition states or not. why? In searching transition states, there are also many imaginary frequencies in the output file,usually. I'm confused. How I can pick out the real imaginary frequency of the transition state? Below is an example of a part of transition state calculation output:
