Decreasing the image

1

Creating the layer

The first step is to create an image layer and select the image which will be displayed. After that go to the Layer window → Style tab, and select the Mask option at the Crop.

2

Adding a new IN animation

When this is done, go to the Animation tab and add a new IN animation. I suggest using Fade from the Fade group. Do the following changes:

1. Change the opacity to 100%
2. Increase Scale to 150%
3. Change the Easing to Linear
4. Increase the duration to make the effect look better

You can preview your animation, as it is done.
