Abstract
We have developed algorithms for the construction of a simulated globular cluster, as it would appear on a frame obtained with a perfect CCD. This has allowed us to compare the absolute errors in the photometry of two different programs, DAOPHOT II (Stetson 1991, 1994) and SPS (Janes and Heasley 1993), with a special emphasis on criteria for selecting stars with the best photometry.
