ok, thanks Serenity . also, i had a question, how do you blur, for example, the background, but not my plane?

Hey Rhah,

Not sure how to do it in GIMP, but using Photoshop what I have to do is trace around my plane to copy it. Blur the picture, then paste the airplane on top of the blurred picture.
there's no real "easy" way of bluring everything but the plane that I know of.

thank you sir :salutethats what i figured i would have to do, but was hoping otherwise

If you trace around your plane, you can invert the selection to select everything BUT the plane.  Then blur.  I'd make a copy of the layer first (easier to "undo").  You can turn off/on the blurred layer to quickly see the difference.  You can also play around with layer masks and such.  The burn and dodge tools are great for touch-ups of "just that little piece of picture", if you need to lighten or darken parts and pieces.  Works great for fixing exposure issues in photos of people and landscapes.
