APER: Aperture Photometry of an Extended Object
ROUND: Deproject Spirals or Elliptical Images
POLAR: Regrid an Image into Polar Coordinates
EGAL: Reconstruct a Galaxy from its PROFILE
SNUC: Surface Photometry of Multiple-Galaxy Systems
RENUC: Reconstruct Galaxies from Multiple-Galaxy Photometry
SECTOR: Surface Photometry of Star Clusters or Complex Objects
AEDIT: Edit Values in Selected Image Regions
