I would like to make a linear wipe but i want it to start in the middle of a hidden picture and reveal it toward both sides up and down at the same time until the whole picture appears. how can i do that ?

As with most things in AE, there’s a hundred ways to do this … to do it using linear wipe, just apply the effect to the layer twice and make each of the two wipes go in opposite directions.

You could use CC Jaws (also found in the transition menu) and set the Height property to 0, so that the wipes aren’t spiky or blocky (which is what it does by default).
It’s worth taking a few minutes just to play with the different transition options… I don’t tend to use them much (particularly as transitions) but you might find something interesting, and they can be used in other ways too. Doesn’t take long to get a basic familarity with them 🙂

Drag the new picture onto the timeline and position it where you want it to start revealing. Create a square mask and pull the top and bottom frames to the centre of the image so it is not visible. Click the mask path stopwatch to create a keyframe. Move to where you want the image completely visible and pull the top and bottom frame of the mask back out past the edges of the comp. Play with feather if you want the edges to blur a bit. Use F9 on the keyframes if you want the animation to have a bit smoother transition speed.
You can copy this mask to other images and use it over again and if you change the mask mode from add to subtract, you can get different effects quickly.

Have you tried CC light wipe?
It is similar to the CC Jaws transition and it’s an easy way to get what you want. It also has an added feature of a Glow/Light effect to the edges as it completes the transition.
Can be found in Effects/Transitions/CC light wipe
