Intense gravitational interaction in compact groups of galaxies leads to the scattering of stars in the global potential of the group. These stars form diffuse light, which should be detected in deep images. To investigate the formation of compact groups and their constituent galaxies, it is necessary to evaluate the parameters of galaxies and diffuse light. In this work, a multicomponent photometric decomposition of 5 compact groups of galaxies from the Hickson catalog was performed and the characteristics of the diffuse light and galaxies in these groups were derived.
