This 2 minute screencast shows an easy-to-use technique for blending multiple exposures (or in this case, two versions of one exposure) to increase the dynamic range of a photograph.
GIMP is free photo editing software for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I published the final version of this photo at Flickr.

Good video! Well presented and clearly explained. Hope it encourages more people to use the GIMP.
Many thanks, it provides a good solution for some of my editing needs. But here comes a question.
I tried to use this technique, but something strange happening here: each new stroke replaces the previous instead of adding to it like in your video. Sure i do something wrong but what? Will appreciate any help.
Make sure the gradient is set to go from a color to transparent. If it goes from color to color then it replaces the entire layer each time you draw it.
Thank you, i got it now.
