"Our grant proposal images look professional now. The review committee commented on the quality of our facility documentation β€” it made our lab look as impressive as it actually is." @ResearchLabPI

Built for University Research Professionals

Lab photos under fluorescent lights look amateur in publications
Equipment documentation needs consistent professional quality
Grant proposals need impressive facility imagery
Field research photos taken in adverse conditions
Conference poster images need publication quality
Inconsistent photo quality across research documentation

Research documentation quality matters β€” for publications, grant proposals, and conference presentations. Professional scientific photography is specialized and expensive. EditThisPic standardizes your lab documentation to publication quality, making grant proposals visually compelling and research papers visually consistent.

Grant proposals with professional facility photos are rated more favorably by 34% of reviewers - NSF Grant Review Analysis 2024

Common Issues

Fluorescent classroom lighting looks greenish

Why: School fluorescent lights create an unflattering green/yellow color cast

Try: correct the fluorescent green tint, restore natural skin tones and colors

Adding 'natural skin tones' ensures faces look healthy, not sickly

Subject too far away in auditorium or gym

Why: School events force parents to shoot from bleachers or back rows

Try: sharpen and enhance the distant subject, make their face and details visible

Use a tap marker on the specific person for targeted enhancement

Harsh shadows from cap, hat, or overhead lights

Why: Graduation caps and overhead gym lights cast deep face shadows

Try: fill in the shadows on the face, brighten under the cap while keeping natural look

Mentioning 'under the cap' precisely targets the shadow area AI needs to fix

Crowded background distracts from the subject

Why: School events have busy backgrounds with other students, chairs, and equipment

Try: blur the busy background to focus attention on the main subject

Background blur is more natural than removal β€” keeps the context while reducing distraction

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use enhanced photos in peer-reviewed publications?

Yes, for facility and equipment documentation. Enhanced lighting standardization is acceptable. Never alter data-containing images β€” that's scientific misconduct. Only enhance environmental factors like lighting and color balance.

Will this help with grant proposals?

Significantly. Professional facility photos in grant proposals demonstrate institutional capability and research infrastructure. Reviewers respond to visual evidence of a well-equipped lab.

What about field research photos?

Field photos benefit enormously from enhancement. Adverse weather, uncontrolled lighting, and field conditions create challenging photography situations that the AI can substantially improve.

Can I process multiple lab photos consistently?

Yes. Use the same prompt for all documentation photos to create a consistent visual standard across your research documentation.

Is the quality sufficient for conference posters?

Yes. Use the highest resolution camera settings and then enhance. The output quality is suitable for large-format poster printing.

Is this free?

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For research documentation, plans start at $3.99/month.
