Calibration in Maxim DL outside AIJ?

Another newbie question.
I'm very used to calibrating my images in Maxim DL. Is it practical to import the already-calibrated images directly into AIJ and if so what is the correct way to bypass AIJ calibration?

Are there any pitfalls with this approach?
For example, Maxim DL adds pedestal values during calibration to avoid negative values occuring in the arithmetic - I'm not sure if that's an issue or not. Also I can see that my calibrated images from Maxim would not have all the required fields in FITS headers, since I don't use Observatory Control in Maxim. Maybe these sort of factors make it impractical.

If any members are following this approach, I'd be grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Adrian
