Although MorphBusters does what its author says it does--creates animations that morph one image into another, warp single images, or pan throughout an image--it's a bit challenging to use.

The interface is very plain, with little help for the new user. Before using this program it would be a good idea to take the five-lesson tutorial, available from the Help menu.

Although the vendor bills the program as a high-performance animation tool that gives you professional results, the poorly designed interface and poorly written documention (on the Web site and in the Help section) leave a bad impression.

Still, MorphBuster is worth a try. It's free for seven days and costs only $25 to register, and it appears to offer more features than the slickly designed (and a bit more expensive) Abrosoft FantaMorph SE.
