We will produce calibrated, time-stamped photometry for the millions of stars resolved in the reduced images. The resulting catalogs can be used for studies of variable stars, recent star formation, metallicity and spatial distributions of old stellar populations, galaxy distances, stellar clusters, and optical counterparts of X-ray sources. As part of this Legacy program, we will release: (1) all reduced imaging; (2) catalogs of stellar photometry; (3) a pipeline for measuring fluxes of sources detected with multiple cameras with varying imaging conditions; (4) calibrated color-dependent filter transformations among all possible HST filter + instrument combinations; and (5) revised stellar isochrones in both WFPC2 and ACS systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
