Default Custom Animation: Faded Shrink?

Hi,

I would like to animate an image so that it appears full-size, and then shrinks to about 1/6 th of the size. Basically the opposite of the Faded Zoom animation, (but then preferably with the ability to set the shrink %).

What I'm trying to do, is to demonstrate how to navigate to a certain page on a website, by showing a sequence of screenshots with each of the navigation steps. In total there are 4 screenshots that I would like to show one at a time (large enough to read the screen content), and then shrink them so that they end up forming a set of thumbnails.

The whole presentation is also being printed, so I don't want a whole bunch of images stacked on top of each other.

The long option would be to use multiple slides: starting with a full-size version of the 1st image, followed by a slide with a thumbnail of that image, and then the next slide with a full-sized version of the 2nd image, followed by a slide with thumbnails of both the 1st and 2nd images, etc. However, this method would not allow for animated shrinking of each of the images to its thumbnail position on the slide.

The Grow/Shrink animation would also be an option, were it not that it actually zooms up from the small image size, and the zoomed-in image is of unreadable quality. I want the zoomed-in image to be good quality, and the quality of zoomed-out thumbnail can be a lesser quality.

It would be preferable to just use a shrink animation for all 4 images on the one slide.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?
