Comparison between SED-fitting and UV-based extinction and SFR estimates as in Fig. 1 (stellar templates, left panels) and Fig. 2 (stellar+nebular, right panels). Each of the objects has been fitted using a customised set of templates built by linearly interpolating the available BC03 templates at its measured metallicity. For comparison, metallicities used for the results presented in Figs. 1 and 2 are indicated by different symbols (see insert in lower panels). The only significant discrepancies are found for object ID = 12341 (magenta cross).
