Cool. I'll give it a try. I've been using irfanview for simple resizes but it isn't the quickest way to go.

At my last job I did something like this, but the problem was I was using the GD image library so I was limited to 260 KB JPEG images...

just tried a lense blur, does this look right to you?

No. Too much + the depth is off. The buildings on the side should be getting progressively out of focus.

That is unless you were just attempting to blur out the horizon. It doesn't look natural though.

btw this shot

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2548/3812500559_ba4f5b68ff_b.jpg

would have been awesome if you shot it slower. It would have made the river silky.
Just an idea .

yes, from my trip. i used a tool called lense blur.

the miniature is a result of the focus . . .

i contemplated using a, ah, verticle picture, meaning looking down. the tool is rigid tho, i can't get it to be selective.

thanks Haffey, Kmarion. back to the drawing board . . .

This stuff is best done inside the camera.. no doubt. It is a skill that takes a bit of time to master. I'm still learning as well.

thanks Reaps~ but plz do not tell me GIMP's free - we have lightroom and i just convinced the wife to spring for PS. i guess that's what i get for not doing my homework.

PSA: kids, stay in school and do your homework. Or you'll wind up a dumbass like me . . .

Lies.. from start to finish I bet its at least 10 seconds . I batch resize everyday at work with irfan. With this you just drag it on to the icon. It is a little quicker. .. but you of course lose simple tools like crops.
