The Dark Energy Survey Data Management System (DESDM) will process and archive the data for the Dark Energy Survey (DES), a 5000 deg2 grizY survey on the Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO). The goal of DES is to study dark energy using various techniques including galaxy clusters, supernova, large-scale structure and weak lensing. The DESDM system is responsible for calibrating the images and has been tested on simulated data from Fermilab and observed data from the Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS), a 45 night NOAO survey. We will present results of photometric calibrations for both simulated and BCS data that incorporate the uniformity of the stellar locus in color-color space. The potential use of the stellar locus will be explored in the context of upcoming large surveys.
