Morphing Photos

One of Photo Express’ more novel effects extras is that of image morphing.
Morphing transforms an image over time to create interesting and unique “warps”

of the original photo. Image morphs are output as either image sequences or

animated GIF files.

To morph an image:

1.

Get the photo you want to morph from an

album or from your hard disk.

2.

Click the Express button on the Command

panel. The Express extras appear on the

Toolbar.

3.

Select the Morph icon from the Toolbar.

4.

Choose a transformation from Type. To use

the transformation, move your mouse cursor into

the workspace and start “painting”.

5.

On the Shortcut bar, click the Add Item to

Storyboard button. This adds the current image
to the Storyboard.

You can remove the effects of

a transformation and return the

image to its original state by
clicking the Restore button on

the Shortcut bar. Also, click the

Play button to view an on-the-
fly rendering of the animation.

6.

When your Storyboard is complete, save

the file to disk by clicking the Save icon on the

Shortcut bar.

Note: You can output image morphs as either an image sequence or GIF
animations. GIF animations are useful for putting your images on the
Web while image sequences are best for searching through the individual
frames to find the one that really stands out.
