This is just a resubmittal of a tutorial that I recently posted. What's with DA not allowing you to edit a deviation and add a downloadable file that was previously non-existant? Am I missing something?
*Click on the image to see the animation if it's not moving already*
I figured out how to morph some images in GIMP GAP (GIMP Animation Package) using a little-known morph tool. GAP can be a difficult animal, but the really cool thing about this particular tool, is that everything is handled by the Morph tool, rather than having to do a lot of pre-processing. Give it a look and you'll see how easy it really is!
At any rate, the only difference in this submittal is that you no longer have to view this tutorial on another site. I've prepared the tutorial in an htm version so you can download it to your computer and work on it at your leisure. Just click on the Download to Desktop Button, double-click the zip file and save the file folder and htm file to a convenient location. Double-click the html file and you're in business.
Hope you have fun with it and learn something in the process.
Comments, criticisms, and questions are always welcomed.
Yeah, I saw yours too! I've been lucky with them so far...only 1 rejected. I see you've pretty much left the GIMP-world eh? Well, have fun no matter what road you decide to take. Keep in touch and take care!

I've noticed that I like the results a lot better if I also put a set of control points around the outline of the hair.
Also, I've been morphing a lot of images of different sizes, and found that unless I actually do a 'crop' the morph tool will get confused about the sizes of the layers, and a freaky morph will ensue..
Lastly, I had good luck with morphing two images that show more than I want in the final product (i.e. not just face, but shoulders and such as well) and adding control points for the rest of the body, and then cropping the result down to just the head or whatever.. that way I can still have people's shoulders morph together even if one person's shoulders aren't showing in the final cropped version. Make sense?
Yep, I understand completely. Those are very good points. Thanks for trying out the tutorial and glad you've found a good use for it. I appreciate the comments.
Take care.

We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
