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: http://wp.me/p1AGa0-eU 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. http://wp.me/p1AGa0-eR 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.
