How to Morph Pictures
The popularity of morphing pictures may be attributed in part to comedian Conan O'Brien, and a recurring segment called "If They Mated" that was featured on his NBC Show "Late Night With Conan O'Brien." The set up for the topical joke was to show two normal pictures of celebrities and other people who were prominent in the news of the time, and then morph their pictures to create a hideous child. The sheer hilarity of those combinations has made morphing pictures, or photomorphing, a popular way to manipulate pictures for comedic effect. You can morph pictures easily by following some simple steps.
