      MorphBuster 2.0 allows you to take one image and then "morph" it to another...

     The program is fairly easy to learn, and after a few trips to the help guide you will be morphing your friends into other misc. things.  When you have 2 or more pictures together, you then have to mark how the picture will morph into each other.  You do that by putting dots on the original picture, and then putting the dot's "twins" where you want it to morph to in the other picture.  This means that you can have it morph in any way you want, and have it as simple, or advance as you want!

Problems
     For every good free program, there seems to be at least one problem, either small or big, and this program has some big problems.  First of all, the program tends to crash a lot (especially when you import something that the program doesn't support).  Also, if you import a file that is not compatible with the program (if it doesn't crash in the first place), it will say you do not have enough memory left to execute the operation when you try to preview your morph.  However, don't let these problem keep you away from this program, because this is one really fun program, that can keep you entertained for hours.  I would just recommend that you save every minute or two (especially, if you have been working on it for a while).

     In conclusion, this is a great program, and it can be a ton of fun.  For example, take a picture of your friend, sister, etc. and import that into MorphBuster.  Then do an image search on google using a keyword such as "ugly".  Once you find a desirable picture, save that and import it into MorphButer.  Finally, create all the morph points and export it to an animated gif or Flash file.  Have fun :-)

NOTE: When you first run the program it will ask you to put in a registration key.  Just click the link to their site to get a free registration key, and don't worry, you don't have to sign up for anything.  All you have to do is find the page with the free registration key on it:-)
