Walk through the full GSDF calibration workflow with PerfectLum and a SmartSensor — from baseline measurement to signed conformance report.

What you will need

  • A calibrated workstation
  • A supported colorimeter (X-Rite, Calibrite, Datacolor, or QUBYX SmartSensor)
  • QUBYX software installed and licensed

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.

This guide will be expanded as we collect feedback. Tell us what is missing.
