I am very very new to Gimp and graphic design. I think this is very basic, but don't know the professional terminology.

Please take a look at the following picture,

You can see that different pictures are mixed into this web banner, and they don't have a clear edge between them, in other words, where they get joined, the color gets blurred. I am sure this is easy and very very basic, but don't know how to google out since I don't know what this technique is called (I think this is an area which google needs to work on, i.e., how do I google if I don't know what a concept/entity is called).

Not tested:

Supose you have image_left and image_right Create a new image same height, double width. add two layers to it, set color to transparency. copy/paste left image to the left of one layer. copy/paste right image to the right of the other layer, overlaping a small portion.
add layer mask to both layers
fill the layer mask of each layer with: white where it has the image, black where there is the image in the other layer, gradient from white to black where two images overlaps.

Hope this helps Pere
