I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but here's something. I think it's a nice effect. :)

:) Open both pics. For each one, go to Image>Mode>RGB Color. In the Title bar above each pic, you'll see that it changes from 'Index' to 'RGB/8'.
Make sure the focus is on the Cuban flag.
Press Ctrl+A to select the Cuban flag.
Then press Ctrl+C to copy it.
Now switch focus to the Nicaraguan flag, and press Ctrl+V to paste the Cuban flag into the Nic. flag.

Now press Q to enter Quick Mask Mode.
Select the Gradient tool and change the settings to Foreground to Background - Linear gradient - Difference mode - 100% opacity.

Holding down the Shift key, drag the gradient tool from right to left.

Press Q to exit Quick Mask Mode.

At this point, you'll notice a small gap on the left, between the Cuban flag and the edge of the window, so select the Move tool and move the Cuban flag to the left to close the gap.

Now press the Delete key.

Then press Ctrl+D to deselect, and then save.

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, just post them here.

Joe
