The ISOPHOT experiment onboard the ISO satellite generated a complete view of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 170{mu}m with 1.5arcmin resolution. The map is analysed using an automated photometry program enabling accurate photometric characterization of the far infrared (FIR) emitting regions. In this paper, the sources detected at 170{mu}m are compared with those obtainable from the IRAS satellite data. For this purpose, the 12{mu}m, 25{mu}m, 60{mu}m, and 100{mu}m IRAS high resolution (HiRes) maps of the SMC are re-examined using the same method. In contrast to former studies, this provides an all-band ISO/IRAS source catalog which is no longer based on eyeball classification, but relies on an algorithm which is capable of automated, repeatable photometry, even for irregular sources. In the mid infrared IRAS bands numerous bright FIR emitting regions in the SMC are detected and classified: 73 sources are found at 12{mu}m, 135 at 25{mu}m (most of them with F{nu}=2.0Jy. Comparable numbers are found for the two FIR IRAS maps at 60{mu}m (384) and 100{mu}m (338) with fluxes up to 450Jy. 70 of the 243 170{mu}m sources are assigned a general SED type (cold , warm , i.e., 30K) for the first time. A comparison with earlier IRAS results suggests that many source flux densities in those studies have been under- or overestimated because of non-standardized fitting methods. Many sources with flux densities up to 40Jy listed in former catalogs cannot be identified in our data.
