There's your layer masks.

If you're looking for more blending tutorials, you can use deviantArt, worth1000, abduzeedo, psdtuts, etc to just look around --- there are thousands of them to develop your own technique

Depending on if you want to do photomanips or what you want to achieve I can give you more, but you're being quite vague.
