This is simply another cool tool to morph images online. Morphing is basically combining the features of two different images to create one resultant image. This mostly works best with human faces and Morph Thing provides with you with the tools to morph images to your liking.

You may have come across quizzes or contests asking you to identify the two faces that are morphed together. This exact morphing becomes a cinch with Morph Thing. For unregistered users, you are able to morph images of celebrities. There are a huge number of celebrity photos that are present with them. All you have to do is select the photos you want to morph together and thus you have the result in a few seconds.

Morph Thing just does not offer celebrity morphs alone. You are able to morph your own photos as well. And what’s more, you can morph your photo with your favorite celebrity and find out how you look. Also, you can try morphing photos of your friends and see how it turns out. The only restriction for this being that you need to register. But that is a simple and quick process here as well.

After this, you can upload your image. Then comes the hard part. You need to prepare the image for morphing. During this process, you need to crop the part of the image containing your face. Following this, you should place control points on your various facial features to define them better. That is, by placing control points on your ears or eyes, you tell Morph Thing exactly how your features are arranged.  This results in a better morphing. Though this consumes time, this worked pretty well for me and gave good results.

You can add speech bubbles with comments in them (like in comic books) and save those pictures. You can also post the pictures to your blog with links provided for that purpose!

Tips for a better Morph 

When you are morphing two faces, the end result turns out good only if the photos are optimized for morphing. So, Morph Thing offers a few suggestions for a good morph.

•  Neutral expression with the face forward and completely within the image
•  No glasses, makeup or any other accessories on the face.
•  Well lit background and 300×400 px size atleast

So, something like your passport size photo would do a world of good for you.

I certainly found this service interesting.. What do you think about it? And tell me how your morphs turned out   Thanks for reading!

On the sidelines, for those interested in winning an iPhone, Buzz Patrol, a celeb news blog, is hosting a contest. Just a comment gets you an entry. Check out the site for the latest entertainment news.

Imagine that you have a video, a good one that you want to upload and share with the world. Now, there are countless video sharing sites and several popular ones like YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe etc. Assuming that you want to upload your video to a bunch of such sites, the time consumed for uploading to each site will be quite high and also it is a tedious process to visit, sign-in, enter details and upload the video on each site.

So, here is a solution that helps you to upload your videos to 15 different video sharing networks in a single click. Hey! Spread is a service using which you need to enter the data about the video file only once. This will be applied to uploads in all the sites.

The different sites that are supported include:

• sevenload
• YouTube
• Facebook
• MySpace
• Google Videos
• Yahoo Videos
• Dailymotion
• Blip.tv
• Photobucket
• Metacafe
• Revver
• Veoh
• Vsocial
• Vimeo
• Putfile

Next, you have to link to the video file or upload it. The amazing thing about Hey! Spread is that you can upload a file from, say, YouTube to the rest of the video sharing networks. It is not necessary that you need to upload the file from your computer. This can save a lot of time if you’ve uploaded the file already to one service and want to do the same for all the others. The upload size is restricted to 10 mins or 100 Mib since that is the standard for most sites like YouTube.

After this comes the tedious process of entering the login details for all the sites you want to upload to. However, the details are remembered the next time you visit (from the same PC) as well. So, that may save some hassle later on.

Finally, you are able to share the video with friends by entering their email addresses and also provide your own email ID to get all the video links. The video is uploaded after this step. Since the upload is from server to server, the speed is very high and the uploading is done quite fast indeed.

Do share the post if you’ve found it useful. Tell me if you think this would help you in your uploading. Thanks for reading!

Cameroid is an online service that uses the webcam on your computer to take photos. It would of course be easier to use your webcam and capture photos and video without using Cameroid, but the service offers you facilities to modify, edit and morph the photos you take.

All you have to do is visit the site and click on “Ready? Click here” button to get started. Before that make it a point to switch on your webcam. After this you are all set to go.

How it works?

The service automatically detects if there is a webcam attached to your system and if it is functional. If it does detect a webcam, the feed from the camera is displayed on the screen. There are two buttons available for you take photos. The first one automatically takes the photo as soon as you click it. The second one is the timer, which counts down to 3 before taking the snap.

Once the photo is snapped, you are again provided with a few more options. You can save the photo to the public gallery of cameroid if you choose to. Else you can download the photo as a .jpeg file or even print it without downloading. You can also trash or delete the image if you want to try again.
