Blending one photo into another.

Before I spend a lot of time trying the impossible:
In Gimp it is possible to take two overlapping bitmap images (like photos) and blend one into the other using a gradient on the topmost bitmap? Inkscape has the ability to blend two vector objects in this manner. But what about bitmaps?
If I vectorize the top image will that make it possible? (Unfortunately vectorized photos often come up huge.)

Unless I misnderstand completely, this is easy.
Put image2 in a layer on top of image1.
Assign a layer mask to the top layer, and fill the mask with a gradient.
Is this what you're looking for?

Object/Mask Gradient (for example black 100%, white 100%) vector mask over the bitmapp.
