Operation - WinImages Morph

Using WinImages Morph

Once WinImages Morph is started the main window will be displayed. It has a number of important areas:

Other management windows are opened as requested. The images loaded into the start and end frames will be shown in the appropriate view windows. The resultant morph frames will appear in the Result window, and the Film Strip if it is on during the generation of the morph.

You'll rarely need to use or work with Points and Links - use lines and curves instead!

To add Points:

Click in either window with the left mouse button with the point tool specified in the tool box.

To move Points: Click over a control point with the right mouse button and drag the point around while holding the button down.

To select a Point:

Click over the point with the right mouse button. Most points are shown with a red outlined cross. The currently selected point has a colored outline.

To delete a Point:

Once a point is selected it will be drawn in aqua. This point can be deleted just by hitting the main window button Delete Point, or by pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.

To add a line or curve:

Select the desired drawing tool from the tool box, and then draw on the start image using that tool's special methods (these methods are defined in each tools specific documentation). Once the line or curve has been placed, draw the corresponding desired line in the end image. After this is completed press the right mouse button to tell morph you are done. Morph will then draw the control using the specified color and thickness settings.

To switch from one control object to another control object:

Use the left and right arrow key to switch from control to control in the view images. You can also press the Ctrl key and left click on the desired object to make it current

on curves, you will find that some areas of a particular curve select more easily than others - if a curve doesn't seem to want to select, try a different area on the curve.

Once an object is selected, it can be moved, resized, have a transparency or velocity curve assigned to it, or it can be deleted.

To move or adjust controls:

Select the Move Object option form the tool box, and move the desired control.
