You saw what fun morphing – seamlessly transforming one image into another – is in Michael Jackson’s Black or White video how would you like to do it right there on your Mac? San Diego-based Gryphon Software Corp is offering Morph, which is claimed to pull the trick on an Apple Computer Inc Macintosh and costs just $150, running on any Macintosh that supports QuickTime; it can use graphics generated from all Macintosh-compatible painting and drawing programs as well as digitised, scanned or synthetic images; the two images to be morphed together appear side by side on the computer screen – to morph two faces together, the user would click on an eye in one image and then click on the corresponding eye in the other and after several key points have been matched, the user specifies the number of intervening frames needed and Morph calculates the appearance of each frame and creates the morph animation; Gryphon formed last year, won its seed funding from Avalon Ventures, a La Jolla, California venture fund.
