Portrait Displays and the Colorist Society International Form Partnership to Advance Education and Awareness of Colorist Community

The new partnership will foster opportunities for production and post-production studios, color scientists, content creators, streamers, and broadcast engineers alike to build upon their knowledge and skills alongside experts in the field. It is the hope of our organizations to strengthen ties within the colorist space and ultimately progress innovation in color accuracy.

“CSI is glad to have the support of Portrait Displays and we look forward to working with them in our educational and outreach efforts,” said CSI president Kevin Shaw. “Portrait Displays shares our dedication to advancing the art and science of color and in gaining recognition for the contributions of colorists to entertainment media.”

CSI is the first professional society devoted exclusively to furthering and honoring the professional achievements of the colorist community. The group was founded in 2016 with the purpose of advancing the art and science of color grading and correction. CSI serves as an educational and cultural resource for its members, including professional colorists, editors, DITs, and more.

By learning about and utilizing Portrait Displays’ industry-leading color calibration software, Calman, CSI members across Hollywood and beyond can expect beautiful, accurate color on screens of all sizes.

“Portrait Displays is eager to explore the vast realm of possibilities with CSI that will service the colorist community as a whole and encourage a sense of camaraderie. Our firm is committed to maintaining excellent color standards and taking calibrations to the next level,” commented Director of Marketing, Mark Ryals.
