[Pw_forum] What's real imaginary frequency of the transition state?

[Stefano Baroni]

Dear Mr X,

if your SCF calculation is well done (i.e. everything is well converged) you are not at a saddle point. In any case, it is always a good idea to attached the input file and relevant portions of the output file. Not to mention your signature and affiliation, which we have begged zillions of times to include.

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:
