We have obtained F435W and F555W photometry based on HST ACS/HRC images for a region 110\" from the center of M32 and a background field about 320\" away from M32 center. Due to the high resolution of our Nyquist-sampled images, the small photometric errors, and the depth of our data we obtain the most detailed resolved photometric study of M32 yet. Deconvolution of HST images proves to be superior than other standard methods to derive stellar photometry on extremely crowded HST images.
