2.0 out of 5 stars advertisement disguised as a product, March 8, 2007

You can not output files to AVI or MPEG format; also, the flash output files seem defective. You must basically output the morphs to a sequence of images and compile them in a seperate software. It feels like the makers of this product have purposely disabled it to make it extra cumbersome - it lacks many basic features that the average user would want.

The majority of the software features appear to be enabled, but when you try to use them the software tells you that you must buy the professional software version to use that feature.

The summary is this- you're better off buying the professional version IF you really want to use the features. If you are bent on saving the money, you can make due with this version IF you have other supporting software AND you don't mind a longer work flow (more steps, more time) to get what you want.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Product, February 26, 2009

I'm a website and graphic designer and was looking forward to playing with this software. After installing, I was severely disappointed.

* You can't save the finished product to your computer! It only offers the option to load directly to a website (where you have to give them your username and password!) or to email it to their servers and then they will email it back to you. This is the worst, piece of crap, notion in the history of software. To make it even worse (if that's possible) I allowed it to email me the result and it's now been 4 days and no email from them (and no, it's not in my spam folder, etc.)

* Don't let the pics fool you...it's not as simple to implement as they appear. Morphing is the easiest but still requires a lot of time and patience to work. The other features take many hours before it will do what their sample pics do and, even after hours of working on it, it still didn't look good enough...so be prepared for a huge learning curve and many hours and days working on just one photo.

* I'm requesting a refund on this one and will report back if that (at least) went well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buggy software /bad customer service, May 27, 2009

This review is from: Morpheus Photo Animation Suite [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I purchased Morpheus Photo Morpher by the same company and it's very buggy,every time I tried do load a photo in this software it shut off, I had to reboot the computer to load the software again. Since I have the installation cd I uninstalled and when I tried to install again it asked me for an activation code which I don't have anymore.I contacted to Morpheus customer support and explained what happened and I also sent them a prove of purchase but Morpheus refused it. There are also bad reviews about this business that I read online.
