Feature Set:  

Morpheus allows you to import a Source Image and a Target Image to start your morph; when you’re done, you can save as a Shockwave Flash, Animated GIF, AVI, JPEG, and other popular formats.

You can hide the Morpheus preview screen while you work, giving you more space to work. Morpheus offers a integrated rendering engine, which means you can view your work by playing the morph it inside the program.

Morpheus gives you several options for control dots (the reference points used by Morpheus to create a direct relationship between the Source Image and the Target Image). These options allow you to choose different control dot shapes and colors—handy when you’re keeping track of dozens of control dots.

Morpheus allows you to link an unlimited number of photos to morph from one to another.

Ease of Use:  

In the new 3.0 version, Morpheus has revamped the control panel to make it easier to use and customizable. The new interface makes it simple to work on multiple photographs at one time.

We were disappointed there is no way to resize the Source and Target images and in Windows XP, the images come into the program four times too big, making them impossible to work with. This is not a problem on the ‘Pro’ version of Morpheus, available for an additional $20.00.

Ease of Installation:  

We had no problems installing Morpheus.

Help/Documentation:  

Morpheus has several types of help available, including: Sample Morphs, a Tutorial, a Four–Step Instruction Guide and FAQs. Although useful, help options would be more valuable if they contained more detail.

Morpheus is a strong program with a lot of features and a broad help base, but also comes with some unavoidable flaws, such as picture importing problems and difficult controls—we feel FantaMorph is a better product for the price.
