Gryphon Software's Morph was the first commercially available morphing software program for personal computers.[1][2] Gryphon Software was founded in 1991 by Duane Maxwell, Bridget K. Burke, and Gabriel Wilensky.[3]

Product versions included:

* 1.0 - Allowed morphing between 2 pictures and creating a movie of the morph[4]
* 2.0 - Allowed morphing between pictures and video[5]
* 2.5 - New curve feature, Windows version, flipbook creator[6]

Gryphon Software's Morph 2.5 was the original award-winning Windows/Mac morphing software that was used extensively in the movies (e.g.: Bram Stoker's Dracula, Robin Hood: Men in Tights) and TV commercials and featured on the cover of Time Magazine twice. Morph 2.5 allowed one to create video-strength morphing animations on the PC, and it could play morphing sequences in QuickTime, AVI, and FLC or FLI formats, turn the morph into a screen saver or print a transformation sequence as a flip book. Its main competitor was Elastic Reality.
