In the help file for BPASS it states:

"Note that any use of SMOOTH in BPASS will require that
the same SMOOTH values be used when accessing any data to
be calibrated by the BP table produced by BPASS."

Could you elaborate on what are the consequences of ignoring this advice;
i.e., if one applies smoothing when running BPASS to increase S/N and then
applies this BP table to unsmoothed data, what undesirable effects (if
any) might this produce?

Tasks such as SPLIT or IMAGR don't seem to complain.
