So while doing stuff with Morning Musume albums earlier, my eye was caught by the 13 Colorful Character limited edition cover.



10 members, all with very nearly the same pose and framing. An unusual situation, and an Opportunity. I have occasionally in the past used software to morph between one image to another--usually with Sqirlz Morph which is now getting on in age, but works well and is free. I'd never tried to morph through 10 images before, so this seemed like a fine time to try. I looked for the largest image of the cover I could find, cut out identically sized rectangles for everyone, loaded them up in Sqirlz Morph, and started in. Thanks to the similarity in all the images, doing so many all together wasn't terribly difficult, except that I couldn't really work on them zoomed or it would've taken forever to switch between the images. By the end it looked something like this:



When just morphing between two images I often try to make it small enough to reasonably work as a GIF for easy sharing online, but something like this was beyond that, so I've put it on YouTube.



Also, when morphing through multiple images like this Sqirlz Morph allows you to see what they all average out to. So here's the average Morning Musume member, circa 13 Colorful Character:
