I don't how u do this in photo shop,
but the way i do it in Firworks is colour fill 1 image then Lasso the edges of the image, then colour fill the 2nd image, then merge them together, creating the fading effect..
I know that probably does not help...
but i just thought i wud share it anyway
sorry Dapa

Anyway Im Making SLOW Progress
Ive Got 2 Sample Images and I Dont Know If Im Doing The "Magic Wand" Bit Right?
I Want The Left Side Image (BLUE) to Fade into the image on the right (Green One)
Ive Used The Wand To Erase Some Of The Blue Image - Is This Totally Wrong

ok Dapadipz, what you want to do will be best done using the 'rectangular marquee' selection, not the wand. get both your images sie-by-side like this, and make a box selection between the two
when you get your selection, click the 'select menu', then 'feather' - you'll see this
select a feather amount, the bigger the more 'fade' - this is 20 but it didnt finish the best, try a bit higher until you get it the way you want
then make sure your working on one of the layers you want to fade, and hit 'backspace'
change 'layers' and hit backspace again
then lose the marquee selection
because this way you've ended up with a with background, the faded pics wont look that good next to each other, so create a new layer, and make a blank selection with the marquee, big enough to cover what you want to join
then set your foreground and background colours to match each image using the 'colour dropper' tool
then, on your new layer, within the selection, use the 'gradient tool' to get a balance between the two colours like this
then move your new layer up and behind your two faded layers, and adjust the 'layer transparency' (on the top of the layers palette) till it looks right.
this ones a bit rough, but to get it exact all you have to do is play around with the layer transparencies, and the feather on your first selections. it wont take you long till you get it spot-on - you can even make 'duplicate layers' of your first ones so that you can fade-delete certain parts of them to make it look better
lemme know if you get stuck
too many pics on this msg
