We welcome you to the exciting world of image morphing with Morph: the
first of the WinImages series of full color image processing tools for
Windows.
We want you to know that Black Belt Systems is the company that made
morphing affordable and available for the desktop personal computer. When
we introduced morphing to the desktop, your only other alternative was a
high-priced workstation with very costly software. Our morphing tools have
been used for network television productions, in feature films and by many
end users for their own amusment. Not only are they more powerful than the
morphing tools on workstation-class machines, but they have more features
and are easier to use as well!
We encourage you to explore the software; it's fairly easy to learn and
use, as you'll see very shortly. If you like what you see, call our toll-
free (in the US and Canada) sales line, or our international sales line,
and place an order for your own fully-functional copy. Our sales line is
open from 9am to 5pm, mountain standard time (this is 2 hours later than
eastern standard time).
As easy as the basics are to use, there is a lot more to this product than
meets the eye in the demo. Keep that in mind, and have fun!
