We have compared star formation rates and efficiencies, obtained from different star formation tracers, before and after compensation for internal extinction due to gas and dust, in the barred spiral galaxy M 83. The star formation tracers that we used were far-UV, B-band, radio thermal and non-thermal continuum, and Hα line emission. We calculated both SFRs and SFEs at 25′′ resolution. We use total gas map, derived from CO(J=1-0) and HI data to compensate for internal extinction.
