- [Instructor] The first filter primitive we'll look at is feImage, because feImage illustrates a lot of what's going on with filter primitives. FeImage takes a referenced image file, either a JPEG or a PNG or an SVG, and puts it in place of the original element the filter is applied to. Right now in our SVG we have three elements: this background image, a rectangle, and the text, and the filter has not been applied to any of them. In the exercise file you'll find a rectangle rule up here that has filter: url(#theFilter) applied, but it's commented out, so that's why we're not seeing the filter, and when we scroll down you'll find that filter here with the filter primitive feImage. FeImage uses xlink:href to find the image that replaces the original element. Xlink:href can be used to point at resources within the project, like I have here. You can also use it to point at resources outside the projects, some are on the web or the network, and you can even use it to reference elements…
