Step 1 — Baseline measurement
Take a baseline reading of the current display state before applying any calibration. Note ambient luminance and ambient reflection.
Step 2 — Apply the target
Pick the smart preset or custom target appropriate for the workflow. Apply calibration. Allow display warm-up if needed.
Step 3 — Verify and document
Run a verification pass against the applied target. Generate a PDF report. Archive with project metadata.
