'Isolated' photon events at LEP have been defined using either a cone
algorithm (where the photon is isolated in a cone and the remaining pa
rticles clustered with a jet algorithm) or a democratic algorithm (whe
re all particles are clustered and the cluster containing the photon i
s identified as the photon). By studying the flow of soft gluon radiat
ion in 'isolated' photon + single jet events at LEP we give a qualitat
ive explanation of the size of radiative corrections in the different
schemes.
