Fun Morph 8.69

I always dreamed of turning my friend's face into a melon. Well this software is just the tool to use if you want to do that. You have a lot of options that you can use to modify the way it changes, including some adjustments to the initial or final images (brightness, contrast, sharpen, blur, etc). Exporting is done in a variety of formats including GIF, Flash, AVI, HTML.

When I first opened the program, I was dazzled by its simplicity. You have an image on the left, an image on the right and in the middle, a panel used to preview the morphing/warping. It's also very easy to learn to use this application due to the fact that the publisher offers a nice tutorial which will guide you step by step into using the software at its fullest. You can access this by selecting help from the application menu.

Ok, but what's the difference between morphing and warping? Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that changes (or morphs) one image into another through a seamless transition. Warping is an effect that you apply to a single image used to stretch the image from a desired point into a selected direction.

Although I liked the application I want to say that I really would have liked another feature on the interface: multiple select for morph points. I tried to delete some morph points on my picture and in order to do that I had to select each one.

Pluses: The ease of use

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: If you need a morphing utility to let your imagination run wild this software is the answer.
