How to Do Morphs in "Gimp"
The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a free and open-source graphics editing platform, similar to Adobe's Photoshop and Corel's Paint Shop Pro. GIMP can support many different types of independently developed plugins, such as the GIMP Animation Plugin. This plug-in tool is used to create animations from still pictures. One of its features is the ability to morph one picture to another, using keyframing and the built-in animation tool.
