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

  1. Export spectroscopy plots from the instrument software as PNG or TIFF
  2. Use the Image Cropper to remove software interface elements and focus on the spectrum
  3. Use the Image Resizer to meet the journal's column width requirements
  4. Use the Image Converter to save in the journal's preferred format
  5. Use the Image Compressor to meet per-figure file size limits
  6. Label the processed spectra and insert into the manuscript figure panels
