Intro:
Ever wanted to blend 2 or more photos into each other, this photoshop tutorial will show you how.
Step 1:
Open up 2 images. I googled for some nature pictures, You can do the same if you don't already have 2 images you want to blend in. You want the 2 pictures to overlay, later I'll explain why as things get more clear along the way.
As you can see My left picture is overlapping the right picture which comes more visible when we blend in the left image. Let's blend this image right now.
Step 2:
Select the top image (mine is the left one, yours could be differently) in the layers pallette. Then click on the "Add vector mask" icon also in the layers pallette.
Now grab the gradient tool 
, change the gradient to the black to white gradient.
Make sure you still have the vector mask selected, click the white vector mask next to your top image layer to make sure. Now all we have to do is make a gradient from the right edge of the top image to 1/2 of the image, it's very important that it's right on the edge of the picture or it will give you a hard edge, zoom in if you have to. You can make different gradients, from a normal straight gradient, a slightly cornered gradient. We can also change the gradient depth, when you slide the gradient further from the right edge of the image the image will blend in more.
This is my result with a straight gradient from right to half of the left image.
