     4) subtract the radial profile
     
+    There is also support code for calculation of magnitudes and add/subtract the profile (a la pmSourceOp)

     TBD:
 
-    * function to replace the radial profile for a source
     * recenter the profile (based on cross-correlation / convolution with 1D profile)
-
-    * raise a bit somewhere for these super saturated stars (if they were so modeled)
-    * consider the subtraction bit : when to raise it?
