Quickstart: Photo Morph Srudio

[ridon127]

What do you know about Photo Morph Studio? I got an e-mail form Planet CD Rom and all Ihave to do is pay shipping which is about $6.95. Is it worth it?
Thanks

Never heard of it, but I don't know that many software products. I just downloaded Fantamorph and it is very smooth. You can get a trial version for 30 days.

I was looking at these reviews of morphing software (http://morphing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/) and Phantamorh got their top review. It also says that Morph Studio has been discontinued (http://morphing-software-review.toptenr ... eview.html). Don't know if Morph Studio is the same as Quickstart: Photo Morph Studio (which is still listed on the PhotoSoft Publishing website). Caveat Emptor, as they say. Personally, I'd go with Phantamorph.

I haven't used it yet, but I got Morpheus Photo Animation Suiteâ„¢ v3.01 free with an order of ink from 123 Inkjet.

Morpheus 3 is listed as Bronze (# 3 recommendation) on http://morphing-software-review.toptenreviews.com

I checked the Morpheus site and the box cover for Morpheus 3 (Photo Morpher) is included (along with 2 other titles ~ Photo Warper and Photo Mixer) in the merged suite which they now call Morpheus Photo Animation Suiteâ„¢ v3.01

One thing that irks me about reviews, comments on web sites, etc... is that most of the time they aren't dated. Of course bulletin boards are dated, but on most review sites I can't even find a date for the review. I could be reading a review for something that is 30 minutes old or 3 years old.

Donna, I'm sorry for hijacking your thread to rant about missing dates.

Hey Donna,
The first morphing software I ever used was squirlzmorph It's Ok, it's free and it did the job for me and allows you to export to avi file. I've since moved on to Fantamorph, really happy with it. Plenty of export options and it's really easy to use.

Cinde,

No problem. That can be so frustrating at times.

Jamal,
Thanks for the reply. I don't know how much I would use something like that. I am working on a DVD for our little graduates again this year. I thought it would be fun to morph them from when they were babies to the time they graduate. Last year I used a B&W and their cap and gown picture, both taken in the same week. There would only be about 6 pictures to use. I just don't want the same thing every year.
Something to think about. The Photo Morph Studio is only $7 so I thought it might be a good deal.
Thanks again
Donna

Donna, the morphing sequence of the graduates would be fun for the families! I liked the one you did last year with the empty chairs at the end. That marked their next phase in life. They grow up too quick!

[ridon127]

You are right about the growing up to fast. It is always sad when these kiddos leave our safe little world and enter "big school". Some of them come back to visit and it is amazing to see how much they can do. It is the same with our own children. I can't believe my two granddaughters are in school and how fast Jr. High is approaching.

I liked the ending of last year's video with the empty chairs. I can't think of anything different so I will probably do it again this year. It is hard to come up with new ideas sometimes. That is why I can't wait to see videos in the gallery... I depend on you guys for ideas..

How many kids are graduating this year? The morphing may be too many pics, takes a lot of prep time. What if you had the child's current pic in center and then have cut outs of the prior years fade in and out to the left/above of the current pic? The pics fading in and out could have a white feathered mask and maybe lower the pics opacity? Just some thoughts. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

[ridon127]

As of right now, there are 10, possibly 13.. We never know until the last minute. Sounds like a good idea. I have plenty of time for that because I don't even do graduation pictures until June and they graduate the last of July. For now I am doing the their 1st 5 years at school and have everything ready to go so I can do the last chapter. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Donna
