PocketMorph

Background

I have been taking photographs of my children since they were born.

Then, using morphing software with these pictures, I have been able to create movie files that have the effect of showing them "growing". This works best using pictures taken a few months apart but at similar angles. (see Images for examples)

I used to carry the AVI or MPG files on my laptop but I recently acquired a Compaq Ipaq PocketPC. The portability of this handy little gadget means that I can now view them and display them anywhere, anytime... and to anyone. :-)

The software to play back AVI or MPG movie files on the PocketPC are freely downloadable (either PocketTV or Windows Media Player 7.1 - see links).

Basic Steps For those that are interested: -

How To Create Morph Files:

• select at least 2 images of the child several months apart but at a similar angle (fully looking at the camera works best)
• scan the images
• edit the images by making them similar sizes
• download or purchase morphing software (see links)
• create the morph file
• encode the AVI file to MPG or WMV for playback

More detailed steps are listed in the "HowTo" Link

Alternatively, you can e-mail me the images and I can e-mail you back the resulting morph file for a small fee (see "Ordering" for details)

How To View the Morph Files:

On PocketPC:

• transfer the file to PocketPC with ActiveSync
• open MPG file with PocketTV, or
• open WMV file with Windows Media Player 7.1

On PCs:

• open file with Windows Media Player 7
