Photoshop is very good at photo-compositing. Here's a tutorial on using fusion masks for blending 2 (or more) images together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I download 2 pics of the same bike (Honda Hornet) in 2 different colors to illustrate the tutorial.

 

The yellow bike is on a separate layer above the blue one.
Althought you don't need to make a selection, we'll make one to illustrate the relationship with one. So, using the markee tool, make a selection


 

Now shift-click the create fusion mask icon on the layers palette and here's what you should get :

 

Alt-click the mask to edit it. Now add gradients (black and white only). You will have to make a new selection for each gradient if you don't want to overide the previous gradients.

The white parts let the image go through and the black don't.

 

Here's the result.
You can use just about evey tool to modify the fusion mask (drawing tools, filters, image modifiers...)
