I didn't understand if you necessarily need to merge different exposures.
If the images have been taken with equivalent exposures and from a fixed
position, like using a tripod or similar, I would only work with layers in
GIMP or PS.

- put each image in a layer, maybe do this with two at a time
- on the upper layer make the selection around the subject you want to keep
- invert the selection
- add an alpha channel
- cut the selection

of course there are many other ways to achieve the result. You could blur
the selection edge either by using Selection ->
feather<http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-selection-feather.html>or using
the erase tool with a soft edge brush.

I have used many of those things to finish this panorama, after blending it
with enblend. The girl appears 8 times and people near each other have
moved between shots:

This one got very good, but in fact, every time where there are people
moving I usually need to do those post editing. This one below has taken me
too much time and I really gave up trying to make people joining as perfect
as I wish. I think it would be possible to make ir perfect, but would take
me more time than I have.

Anyway, if your case is different and I misunderstood your problem maybe
you could post your images online so we could try to figure out a solution.
