This image will allow you to see the eect you are building. When the image is dragged to the
Canvas, it is applied to the clone and background layers. This example uses an image of a herd of
elephants. They’re neat.
2 In the Layers list, select the Background layer.
3 In the toolbar, choose Blur > Gaussian Blur from the Add Filter pop-up menu.
A Gaussian Blur lter is added to the elephant image.
4 In the Filters Inspector, set Amount to 0.
The blur amount will be modied in a subsequent step (when you build the rig).
In the next task, you will add the masks that create the center of the viewnder and the
split prisms.
