Blending images?

[pspzuzu]

Hello,
I am trying to blend two images . . . I want to create the same effect as the main image on this website:

I have been trying to use masks (I have Paint Shop Pro 7) but my product ends up looking unprofessional and messy.

How would I blend two images in the same manner as this website has?

Thank you!

Fast and dirty way: Get each of your two images into its own layer. Select the part of the top image that you don't want. Modify the selection to feather it by, say, 20 pixels. Press the delete key.

Picking two images that blend well together, and picking the right spot to blend them is more a question of talent.
