Make the picture smaller, that should do it. A lot of cameras automatically make the pic huge.

What kind of plants do you have, and how long have you had them?

Go in with any picture editing program (Photoshop, or the cheap version of Photoshop, or the cheap Microsoft ripoff of Photoshop, or, if you don't have any of these, look up GIMP, which is an open-sourced freeware based on Photoshop), find the "Resize" function, look for a percentage and go to 50%. Save as New and then try again with the new file.

K thanks, but...hahaha i almost kicked myself in the butt today. When i was changing my water today i rubbed the brown spots on the leaves and the stuff just rubbed off! So its all good, would this just be some type of brown algee or something?

Those would be diatoms, a form of algae (some say another type of life similar to algae) that builds a silica shell around itself. It's pretty common in beginning fishtanks. Slow-growing plants, in particular, can be coated by the stuff. I have to clean my crypts right now, so they can soak up enough light to grow.
