Making a photo shrink to a smaller version?

Hi there Jason!

You should be able to do something pretty close to what you'd like to see by using animations and a copy of the original image.

Here' s a quick example:

Example for Jason

In that example I used one main, large image. I created a copy of the image and scaled it down to a smaller size. I used some entrance and exit animations (fade in/out) on both images and arranged them to appear in the timeline so they "flow" through the animations and appear as though the image is shrinking.

You could probably get a little fancier with this :) Hopefully this suggestion will at least help with getting started.

Good luck with the project!

You could also try using the Shrink exit animation on the larger in with a Fade In entrance animation on the smaller image. This might give a better effect of the larger image getting smaller.

thanks guys. Brett, I tried that one and it would work well but my image is inset from the bottom corner so when it shrinks away, it makes this weird little jog to the edge of the slide and pulls it out of the area it should stay in.

Christine, I've got your method in there now. I think it'll work ok. I'll see what my testers say on it when they get to that slide.

@Brett,

Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing that :)

@Jason,

Fantastic. Good luck on the project!

Hope you both have a great day,

Christine

I know this post is a few years ago but it helped me massively today and ive managed to do the Shrink exit perfectly.

Thank you all.

So glad to hear that, Rukhsana! Thanks for popping in to share here. Love when these older threads continue to make folks' lives a little easier. :)
