The UCLA two-channel IR camera has been used to perform crowded-field photometry in two distinct classes of extragalactic objects. DAOPHOT was used to reduce images of M 33 and provide JHK color-magnitude diagrams of over 1,700 stars. Galaxy photometry in crowded clusters, e.g. Abell 370, was obtained in JHK and analyzed using FOCAS. In both cases, extensive reductions were performed using synthetic aperture photometry for comparison. Methods and results are summarized.
