High‐pressure single‐crystal structure refinement requires intensity data that have been corrected for the various absorption effects in the pressure cell. In this contribution, the methods for calculating the absorption corrections for a transmission‐geometry diamond‐anvil pressure cell are reviewed. The ideas presented in this paper have been implemented in a software package for Microsoft Windows, Absorb6.0, available at http://www.crystal.vt.edu/.
