picture blending

[jen0dorf]

Hi

I have four pictures to be set side by side as per attached file.

I want to in some way blend all the pictures so the transition accrss the borders is gradual.

I've tried transparency gradient between the images and placing white rectangles with a fractal cloud transprancy but to be blunt they all look grim.

Has anyone a better idea or am I flogging the proverbial dead horse?

thanks

Ian
