Create morphing effects with your photos

You’ve probably seen morphing effects a hundred times, even if you don’t know how to describe them in words. Put simply, a morphing effect is an animated transition between two pictures, so that it seems that the first one is gradually transformed into the second one. Morphing effects are widely used on all kinds of multimedia productions, but that doesn’t mean they’re difficult to create. In fact, you can create easily create your very own morphing effect with FotoMorph.

The first and most important step in creating a morphing effect is selecting the appropriate photos. Not all images are suitable for morphing: you should make sure they’re approximately the same size and the subjects appear in more or less the same position. Once you load your images on FotoMorph, you’re ready to start anchor dots.

Now what’s this dots thing about? Anchor dots mark the exact points the program will use to create the transition between both images. Obviously, the more dots to add to your images, the more accurate – and therefore realistic – the transition will be. In any case, try at least to add dots around the most important areas on your subjects’s faces: face oval, eyes, nose and mouth. [Caution: animated GIF below the fold!]

The good thing about FotoMorph is that you can preview the result at any time in the sequence preview window at the bottom, and check the final version in the built-in player. Once you’re happy with your morphing effect, you can save it into a variety of formats, including animatet GIF, Flash movie, AVI movie or standalone EXE file.
