animated gif morph
created with Squirlzmorph
Every now and then I get the urge or the need for a morph and when you need a good, easy to use morph program you don't want to pay a lot for it. So how does free sound? Squirlz Morph 2.1 by Xiberpix is a handy to use morphing tool that is easy and very useful when creating morphs or blended images or warps. You can really do a lot with this useful tool and the learning curve is so easy. I made the above animated gif in 11 minutes. Squirlz gives you reference dots which show point-to-point registration of an image area and where it will morph to, but also allows you to create your own points. So often morph programs have a preset grid of dots which leave you battling a template within the program. Other functions within the interface include single click adjustment of images to equalize size of your pics, basic hue, contrast and brightness adjustments and a few more minor functions. I guess what I really appreciate about Squirlz Morph (aside from the great price) is an easy to use interface. No one wants to lose time learning how to operate something as simple as a morphing program.
