Adobe Photoshop Gets Microsoft Surface Dial Support

Posted in: Today's Chili


It has been almost a year since the Surface Dial accessory was released by Microsoft for its Surface Studio all-in-one computer. There aren’t a lot of apps out there that have support for this accessory but more are gradually being added to the list. Adobe Photoshop was one of the apps that users wanted most to get support for the Surface Dial. It has now been confirmed that Adobe’s flagship software now gets along very well with the Microsoft Surface Dial.

It was possible to use the Surface Dial with Adobe Photoshop previously, however, users only had access to basic functionality like zoom. Now, though, Photoshop finally has enhanced support for this accessory.

Adobe’s latest iteration of Photoshop has Surface Dial integration to adjust the brush settings. That’s all it can do right now, Adobe has limited Surface Dial integration to the brush settings for now. It actually brings up a separate brush menu when the Dial is triggered. It allows users to adjust the opacity, size, flow, hardness and smoothing by simply rotating the dial.

It’s about time that Adobe enabled this functionality in the app for the Surface Dial. It also doesn’t hurt that the support has arrived merely weeks before Microsoft’s new Surface Book 2 is due to be released. The new Surface Book 2 is going to be released in November.

Nielsen Will Now Track TV Audiences On Netflix

Posted in: Today's Chili


The age-old method of finding out how many people watched a particular program on TV no longer get the job done. That’s because millions of people have cut the cord and moved to online streaming services. It’s important to count those numbers as well to get a true sense of how many people watched a particular show. Nielsen is now going to track TV audiences on online streaming services as well.

“The syndication of SVOD measurement as part of Nielsen’s Total Audience offerings represents a big step forward in terms of moving closer to transparency within the SVOD marketplace,” said Megan Clarken, the president of watch at Nielsen.

Nielsen has been tracking demographic information and the number of people streaming a program for decades now. It’s essentially going to do the same thing for subscription-based streaming services like Netflix now as well.

The company’s new service, Nielsen Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) Content Ratings, will measure streaming services’ program in a way that’s compatible with linear TV. The data collected will include ratings, frequency, reaches, and segmentation reporting.

Only Netflix has signed up for this so far, however, Nielsen is looking forward to adding Amazon Prime and Hulu to the list by next year. Other testers who want to try out this new service include NBCUniversal, Disney-ABC, A+E Networks, Lionsgate, Warner Bros. Television, and others.
