wow. just posted this in another thread. well, here it is again... :)

blending: a quickie:

make a selection (marquee tool, quick mask, etc).
copy and to a new layer (crtl-c, crtl-v).
create a layer mask (little icon at the bottom of the layers palette). apply filter> blur> gaussian blur to that mask
apply image> adjustments> levels to that mask.

Just a side note. Instead of Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V, just use Ctrl+J!
