I used a sigma of 50 for the Gaussian filter on the mask, and a sigma of 4 for the filter on
each image.
Image set 2 - Sportball
I used a sigma of 40 for the Gaussian filter on the mask, and a sigma of 2 for the filter on
each image. It did not turn out as well as the other examples. I think this is because the original
images are too detailed and sharp to blur convincingly.
Image set 3 - Space
I used a sigma of 20 for the Gaussian filter on the mask, and a sigma on 3 for the filter on each image.
It turned out fairly well, but I think the shading behind Jupiter is not entirely convincing. I revisited
this example in Part 2.2, with better results.
Laplacian stacks for Oraple
By looking at the Laplacian stacks of the Oraple, and the masked input images, we can see how the Laplacians
of the oraple were formed as linear combinations of the Laplacians of the masked images.

Bells and Whistles - Adding Color
By blending each RGB channel separately, we can blend color images as easily as we did black-and-white images. The color images
turned out more convincingly than the black-and-white images, in my opinion.
