Hi guys. I've seen some Photoshop masters of photo manipulation, like Benny productions for example, that use blend-if functionality to make the highlights blend better with the object. Here is an example in tutorial: https://youtu.be/2dpWkJeU7TM?t=370, and this is from Benny - https://youtu.be/yUPIChL7_x8?t=427. Is it possible to achieve this in GIMP? Maybe with Color to Alpha? I tried to do it like this:

With color to alpha applied to the first layer (also mask to selection to affect only the area of the highlights)but the results are not very good.
This is the source image in pexels. (I also decreased the temperature and exposure.)
