What's Hot: MorphBuster not only lets you morph images, but you can also warp and pan (zoom). You can use these features separately or combine them to create an interesting and quite impressive animation. When combining these techniques, your dull family photo from last year’s Christmas dinner suddenly jumps to life. Your grumpy teenage son is finally smiling, your husband’s hair is finally the way you’ve wanted it for years and, when the photo pans in on Grandma, she morphs into creepy Uncle Larry and winks at you--all right before your eyes!
MorphBuster supports all the common image formats (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and TGA), which can be selected from a drop-down menu when opening an image. You can also export your project to a variety of formats--image sequence, GIF animation, AVI movie, Flash movie, web page (HTML), standalone EXE, or screensaver.
There is no need to use other applications to edit your images beforehand. MorphBuster has all the tools you need to touch up your images . You can crop, resize, rotate, and flip both horizontally and vertically and add art media effects. You can also add text to your images--something that many other applications do not enable you to do. Another added bonus is the ability to edit the light and color of an image or to apply a filter that, for example, softens or blurs the image. The following screenshot show a morph in which a colored chalk effect is applied.

MorphBuster lets you view and play your animation in real time without needing to export or save your project. This feature is an excellent timesaver--it allowed me to easily preview changes and to make whatever alterations I felt necessary.
A feature which impressed my son was MorphBuster’s ability to print individual frames. After he created a morph, he could pause the animation mid-morph and simply go to File -> Print and, voila, he had a photo of himself as half-boy/half-dog that he could show off to all his friends.
