App Review: Just-Me Puts You At The Center

The latest request in App reviewing came from Maftusoft. His photo editing App, Just-Me, puts all the emphasis of your photos in one place, your subject. The App has 2 quick options for focusing your image. The first is the “spotlight” effect and the second is the “bokeh” or lens blur effect.

The spotlight effect is very simple and quick. You simply select your starting point, then the size. This creates a circular image with a black background for the rest of the original image. Very simple, and with proper cropping, very fun to use with Instagram or other square image sharing software.

The bokeh effect is even better though. The same circle property applies to this one, but instead of blacking out the image, a simple tap and slide begins to blur the background. The more you blur, the more the center circle stands out. The only issue I had with this is that you really need to plan a “circular” image to make this effect really shine.

Overall, Just-Me is a great little tool to add to your Windows Phone camera. It makes quick editing a simple task, and does exactly what it says it does. If you are a heavy user of Apps like Fhotoroom or even Creative Studio, the effect is a bit redundant, but executing it in Just-Me is much quicker.

If you don’t have Just-Me from Maftusoft on your Windows Phone yet, swing in to the Store and grab it. You can get it at this link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/just-me/4c7b3d14-f9ad-438f-9e87-939e5df1a3f9?signin=false
