More ★ Noel :: Sara Mari's Giveaway

Hey guys~!

So for some of you who are following Momoeri's blog - you guys may have seen her post about the More Noel iPod/iPhone app:

As you guys can see it's similar to a purikura app in that you get the pretty bokeh effect and the stars. 

☆ Pros: 

† My favorite part of this app is that it really brightens the pictures like in the purikura booths! 

So it's like a purikura booth... OUTSIDE OF A PURIKURA BOOTH!! Like woah~

† Another thing I really like about the app is the way that the effects look. They don't look sticky, pasted, and ugly. They're very pretty and shiny looking ヽ(´―｀)ノ

† It's free!

☆ Cons: 

† There are only two effects you have in the app. The sparkle and the bokeh. It would have been nice if they added more into the app. But it's a free app, so I'm happy with it.

† I wish we had more control of the contrasts and brightening.

Each effect has three different degrees - going from lightest and most subtle to brightest and more dramatic. 

Here are examples of the sparkle effects from the lightest to brightest degree:

As you guys can see it works better with pictures that have more contrast in them. Overall, I love this app, it's simple, fast, and the results are cute!　ъ(｀―^)
