Extended

if this check-box is enabled the photometry is performed as for an extended source. The user can change the axial-ratio by clicking on the a/b spin-box and position-angle by clicking on the Pos angle spin-box) and the inner and outer background radii for the background determintaion (by clicking on the Inner bck and Outer bck spin-boxes, respectively). Note that the background annulus will have the same ellipticity and position-angle as for the photometry aperture.
