Very nice. With your permission, this will be my new wallpaper for a bit! You're right, 'Blur' works wonders for seating objects into a scene. Takes the crisp edge off things. The other "Wonder Tool' is 'Haze'. In my 3D modeling programs, this can be added with a few numbers entered in the right space. Looking at the ground, there's a bit of atmospheric haze going on. For Photoshop, try a new layer, at the very top. Flood it with White, then adjust the Opacity down to 1%. Tweak the percentage up or down as needed.

Not a huge amount to be honest!... The main part is erasing all the outlying textures from the original photos (cos they are always a different 'hue' from the photo you are adding them to)..... But quite simple after that!

 

(The other hard bit is finding photo's of WW1 aeroplanes (for obvious reasons!)

A case in point...I just noticed the Nuip has an 'extra' wing spa!..hahahaha......... I should pay more attention!!!

 

So, a little way to go yet!

ok,,,then from my limited use of paint programs,,,,after you have erased all that,,,then you set the erased part color (white im assuming) to "transparancy" and then copy and paste the pic into whatever you want,,,,

 

that about it?

[UK_Widowmaker 571]

Yep...pretty much!
