Filtering the Effect

The effect is applied, but it's applied to the entire image. Now we need to filter it so that it's not applied on the edges. 

Step 4

Add a layer mask to the top layer (Layer> Add Layer Mask> Reveal All).

Step 5

Make sure the layer mask is activated. The thumbnail of the layer mask in the layers window should have a white border around it. If it doesn't, click on the thumbnail to activate the layer mask.

Step 6

With the layer mask activated, use the Apply Image tool to apply the following properties:
Layer: Background
Channel: RGB
Blending: Normal
Opacity: 100%

Step 7

Apply a Find Edges filter (Filter> Stylize> Find Edges). The image should now appear to have its edges restored.

Step 8

If you look closely at the image, you'll be able to notice the outline on the edges. To remove this, we'll simply apply a gaussian blur with a radius of 1 pixel.
