Expand a picture so it becomes the background of a new layer
I have a slide with a set of "click to learn more" images; for example, a picture of a set of cookware to learn more about cooking.
I'm trying to have it so that when the user clicks the image, the image grows to become the background of a new slide or layer (preferably a layer).
At the moment, all the transitions I've tried (from changing the state of the picture to using Zoom or Grow animations) have the image grow from the center of the slide, not from the original location of the picture.
Is there some simple functionality I'm missing?
Hi Joe! Couple of things came to mind, like if your image is taking up the entire slide, the center of the image might just also be the center of the slide. But I recorded this Peek that I hope will be helpful! https://360.articulate.com/review/content/19defc2b-d8b7-49f6-a550-0fac4db38453/review
Oh, my goodness!
Not only did you answer my question, you did it with corgis! Woo hoo!
Yes, the missing puzzle piece was the option on the Zoom animation to do "Zoom Object Center". I totally missed that.
Thanks for putting in SO much work (and cute work at that) to answer a simple, "You didn't quite check everything, Joe," question.
It's not perfect (I want to turn it into a full slide background, so imagine the corgi picture getting stretched to fill the entire slide), but you even addressed that in the video -- since my picture's ending up in the middle, any growth it does is going to look like it's from the middle. So I have to be satisfied with some hybrid approach where I don't fill the entire background, or I expand to "ludicrous size" as you did on your final corgi.
I can work from here.
