Impact of deepCR corrections on photometric accuracy. Magnitude difference between the input synthetic stars and their measured photometry after applying deepCR masking and in-painting plotted against the input magnitude (using an arbitrary zero point). The colour scale on the graph represents the number of pixels within a 25-pixel aperture diameter that were affected by CRs. On the right side of the graph, a histogram displays the distribution of the magnitude differences, providing a visual representation of the photometric accuracy and the impact of CR corrections across various levels of CR contamination.
