Surface brightness profiles for four targets masked with KILALL. In all cases, we present the SPBs either with close objects (Co) without using KILLALL, or no close objects (nCo) when we used KILLAL. In the cases of M 32 and NGC 205, a larger deviation can be observed in the SBPs. In these two cases, we provide the inserts of the galaxy images in the left without removing the surrounding objects and in the right the same field after KILLALL object removal. In the cases of M 32 and NGC 205, we can observe the effect of an overestimation of the isophotal flux values due to the number of resolved objects and the aggressive star removal during the masking, respectively.
