Simple GIMP question!

[Centertainment1]

Hi,

Well, this is a bit of a graphics question. I'm using GIMP, and I'm a bit of a noob at it. I am having a problem making a logo. It is basically 2 layers. I rendered the image that I want at the front and I have made a background. I put the render over the background as a second layer. The only problem is that the edges of the rendered image looks a bit choppy over the background. How do I make is so that the edges of the image shine a bit to hide the choppiness. I have seen this on many banners with a person as the rendered image and their edges have a sort of white glowing bit around it to hide the choppy bit on the edges.

How do I do it on my image on GIMP???

I hope I have explained it properly, thanks...

Well, you could try to use a gaussian blur on the top layer. That usually helps.
And here's a link to a good tutorial, I found..It may help too.
