SDSS g‐band SBPs and (g*−r*) color radial profiles for six of the galaxies from the test sample. Three kinds of profiles are shown: pure exponential (1159−0055, 1213+0127, 1442+0026), disk and bulge (1212−0039 and 1349+0039), and Sérsic profiles (1230−0015). The different lines in the SBPs panels show the model fit distributions to the data, including bulge (if any), disk, and the total light. The lines in the (g*−r*) color panels show the model (g*−r*) color distributions derived as the difference between the model g* and r* distributions.
