Yes it is a very similar question.  I did make this type of correction 
by setting E0 myself.  When moving to R space the data shows significant 
intensity below 1 A which I thought was noise but it may not be.  Are 
these low A signals data or noise is my main concern because EXAFS 
fitting does not fit all that well which then would point me to my model 
as the problem which I think i understand.

Thank you all for your patience,
