The Malin effect on stellar photometry was examined on filtered and hypersensitized IIIaJ and IIIaF plates exposed at the United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope. Comparison with plates exposed in a stream of dry nitrogen shows that the Malin effect causes a change in stellar response as function of the position on the plate. Stellar response is defined as the density integral of the stellar image above sky. The gradient increases towards the plate edge and is circularly symmetric. The effect on stellar response at the plate edges caused by these gradients range from +025m (decrease), to -0.10m (increase). The mean change at the plate edges is +0.07m. The gradients in stellar response can be described in terms of sensitivity variations combined with changes in reciprocity failure. For filtered and hypersensitized plates exposed in dry nitrogen, a flat photometric system with an accuracy of 0.02m can be defined.
