Morph Age is a program that will Morph images together - similar to the morphing faces in Michael Jackson’s Black and White video. In addition, Morph Age will Warp (deform) a single image - treating it like clay that can be pushed and pulled to distort its image. The resulting morph/warp can be saved as a still image or as a QuickTime movie. BTW: The Pro version will also let you morph between two QuickTime movies.
