Some plane pictures

The original pictures were shot during an air show, hence the rather busy backgrounds in the original pictures.

A first shot at a T-28 Trojan:

Everything done with standard Gimp, plus the resynthesizer plugin.

Perfect Ofnuts,
The clipping is great, considering that you used the paths tool, it motivates me to use this tool to more cuts. :bigthup

The blender of new backgrounds, became natural and realistic. Exception to B-25, which in the lower left margin, using the resynthesizer plug was well noticeable.
These are beautiful machines!

Hmmm. Yes. Good find.

Cool technique I found with the path tool to effortlessly follow a slight curve:

- Click to make one anchor at one end
- Click to make one anchor at the other end
- Ctrl-click in the middle to add a new anchor
- Push that anchor to the actual curve
