I forget how to merge picture - kenny1999 - 01-15-2022
like this, an example, how to merge his face at the edge with the side of the monkey so that their skin color is more gradual rather than this now? I don't need professional work, just not looking as bad as now is fine. Thanks

There is some info here about using the g'mic plugin - the blend filter

Hi. I just watched this video and followed the steps strictly but I am unable to use eraser to delete the edge. The eraser doesn't erase anything, what's wrong in the middle?

Not exactly what you are looking for. For minor blends I use Gaussian Blur in the filters drop down menu. First I trace the area to blend with Free Select and then apply the the blur. Varying the width of the range you want to blend/blur and the amount of blur has different results.

You will be on the wrong layer.
This a quick 1 min 25 seconds demo of the process: https://youtu.be/GBWTkKcb0Qs

I did exactly the same step and restarted the GIMP! just doesn't work at all. It's so painful...
Where is the problem? Please see the attached screen

Only painful for us
You have a floating selection layer. Make it a full layer Layer -> To New Layer (shift -ctrl-n)

Just use the eraser with a soft brush (you can in addition lower the tool opacity).

I followed the steps exactly on the videos, but why don't they need to make a full layer
btw, what is floating selection layer? what is full layer?
Well.. In the meanwhile, looks like the eraser works now, but why the edge still has a big color difference after applying "Curves"?

If you look at the gmic.org video you can just see the transform from a floating selection layer to a regular layer, using the new layer icon bottom of the layer dock. To be fair it is very quick. (between 46 and 51 seconds in the video)
You do not need to make a full layer, just make that floating selection a regular layer.
If you looked at my video you would see that instead of a Copy -> Paste I used a Copy -> Paste as -> New layer

This is the difference:

This is what you need for the gmic blend

Do you really need to use the curves tool? If not sure how Curves works do not use it. The gmic blend will adjust the colours to a certain extent it might be enough for your purpose.
