Converting Spectroscopy Data Plots for Publications
Chemists and physicists export spectroscopy plots (NMR, IR, UV-Vis, mass spec) from instrument software for inclusion in research papers. Plots need standardized dimensions, resolution, and format for journal requirements.
Workflow
- Export spectroscopy plots from the instrument software as PNG or TIFF
- Use the Image Cropper to remove software interface elements and focus on the spectrum
- Use the Image Resizer to meet the journal's column width requirements
- Use the Image Converter to save in the journal's preferred format
- Use the Image Compressor to meet per-figure file size limits
- Label the processed spectra and insert into the manuscript figure panels
