Which version of PPT?
You'll want to change the speed of the animation so it happens more quickly.
To do that, double-click the animation on the Custom Animation pane. This
opens a dialog box. Click the Timing tab and type a faster speed there. Then
press Tab so it "takes." Or just press Enter, which will close the dialog
box, too.
To keep it on the slide longer, I'd add another object (just an autoshape or
something) on the slide and add an appear animation to it. Double-click that
animation in the Custom Animation task pane and on the Timing tab, change
the Delay. Whatever time you want the third picture to be visible for is the
time you should put in the Delay box for this "dummy" object. For example,
if you need the third pix to be visible for 20 seconds, then put 20 in the
Delay box.
Finally, drag that last "dummy" object off of the edge of the slide where it
won't show in slide show view.
