I just checked it, and yes, it is very good.
My slight difference in the method is instead of using erase, you can simply
select the area that you want to delete, "feather" with large pixel value,
and delete. You get a soft edge that way.
Also, in aligning the image, it would help if you invert one layer so that
when the two layers are perfectly aligned, all you see if smooth gray. When
they are not well aligned, you see bas relief. It is quite a useful "trick."
