I am currently developing a new app called “Shoost”.
With this app, I want to easily create pictures with a nice atmosphere! I want to make my characters look beautiful! I started developing this app because I wanted to make it easy to create a nice atmosphere!

[ Supported OS is Windows only. ]
I designed it to make it easy to create screen effects using three layers.
Features
Menu
Move the cursor to the side of the UI and click to turn the menu on or off.
Screen Effect
You can add screen effects similar to those used in cartoons. We currently have three: Normal is a general screen effect, Diffusion is a diffused light atmosphere, and Glow is a process that makes bright areas glow.
Screen Filters
Add filter effects to the screen. Currently, there are three filters available: CRT-style filter, video-style filter, and film-style filter.
Screen Shake
Screen shake effect, like camera shake. Vibration shaking is also available, but will be used more effectively in the future.
Camera zoom
Use the camera to zoom.
Object placement
Objects in each layer can be moved, enlarged, and reduced.
Chroma-Keying
You can select any color to create a chroma key composite, and adjust the range using the Hue Range, Saturation Range, and Brightness Range. Adjust the Hue Range, Saturation Range, and Brightness Range.
Background Blur
You can add blur to the background layer (Layer3) image.
Auto Color
Automatically corrects the color of Layer1 and Layer2 according to the background (Layer3).
Window Capture
Allows you to capture and display any window. Enter the name of the title to capture and use it.
Import items
You can import images and videos. The file formats are png, jpg, mp4.
Examples
You can add a screen effect by placing people or objects in the foreground to create a nice atmosphere.
The Glow screen effect works best when used on a background with luminous objects. If the light is too strong, adjust the exposure by lowering the exposure.
The Diffusio screen effect diffuses the light and gives a slightly blurred impression compared to Normal. It is effective in settings such as an evening scene.
Since it can load video, it is also good to use it to place material shot with a green background.
Feature added in v0.1.6.
Undo and Redo
Ctrl + Z for Undo; Ctrl + Shift + Z or Ctrl + Y for Redo.
Not all of them are supported yet, but I’ve added them so that you can use them for now.
Brightness adjustment
It seemed that the characters were sometimes too dark depending on the background, so we added a function to brighten them up.
Feature added in v0.2.0.
Rim Light
This function adds the expression of light going around contours. It is effective when used in dark or backlit scenes.
The UI design has also been changed in v0.2.0. You can now switch categories from the tabs at the top.
Sharpness
Added sharpness function. It can make the image clearer.
Feature added in v0.2.1.
Spout function
The Spout function is supported by checking the “Spout Capture” checkbox in the Settings category. With this function, you can output to OBS without displaying the UI or import videos without using the Window Capture function.
