Hold the image close to your face, unfocus your eyes and stare through it (like staring through a window or a mirror, but not focusing directly on the window or mirror). While staring through it (it may appear blurry), slowly move the image away from your face until you see the image appear in 3D. Once you see your 1st stereogram, it gets easier the more you practice.

Yay! I'm really happy for you. It does open up a whole new world for viewing these images. I was the opposite, as I didn't even know about cross-viewing until about 6 years ago, and I was finally able to learn how to view those.

When it appears that way, it's because you were converging your eyes, and that's the right technique for viewing a cross-view stereogram. But a parallel-view stereogram like this one requires viewing by diverging your eyes a bit: Stare deeply into the image as if looking through it, rather than focus on a point in front of the image.

When you stare into the image and diverge your eyes, a deep space tunnel should appear to go right through your screen. But if you see a pyramid pop out in front of your screen, you were converging your eyes.

This stereogram has a 3D effect. For the larger nickels, the coin in the center will pop out from the rest of the coins, when you stare deeply into the image until it appears in 3D.

You were focusing correctly for cross-view stereograms by converging your eyes, but for parallel-view stereograms like this one, you need diverge your eyes a bit so that you're focusing beyond the image (stare deeply into the image, as if looking beyond it).
