I'd say you can do this , just take in small steps ...
image of object inc background = layer 1 one, top layer
image of the mermaid = layer 2 two, mid layer
image of the object inc background =layer 3 three, bottom layer
look at the layers explanation in -- > https://imgur.com/4n7ihGT
Top two layers add an alpha channel do this the two top layers goto
top menu > Layer > Transparency > alpha to selection
that puts a layer of transparency to each layer
or right mouse click for the layer selected and use 'Add Alpha Channel'
now the bottom 'layer 3' leave that alone,
focus on layers 2 and layer 3 use the eraser tool to wipe away any parts not wanted ➤ made a mistake use Ctrl Z or select anti-erase from the options tool menu ,
Save As = that goes to Xcf saving mode with different name suffix
Save your workflow as a xcf file that's a Gimp only work in progress file do that when you need a break , a good idea is to save them as 1 2 3 progressively so going back to an earlier is no hassle,
when you finish this work
'Export as'' is what you should doing - Top Menu > File > Export As
Here there is a choice
Png = saves with transparency if image has
Jpg = saves image flat if has transparency will show as usually white
A few don't
Don't Overwrite = keep the original images might need those again
Don't Save = that goes to Xcf saving mode
Don't Save As = that goes to Xcf saving mode with different name
Do the final as
Export As = that exports the image with different name check the location of where the image is going change accordingly ..
Give it a go and maybe bookmark this page so returning when needed.
No-body here knew what do do straight away Gimp is learning work in progress,
After more than ten years and I'm still learning , we all are , that's what makes Gimp so wonderful ..
