Can't tell from that picture, can you upload a higher resolution?

Do you just mean how the buildings are faded into the yellow background?
I would try turning the buildings black and white and set their Layer Mode to Multiply at a lowered opacity on a layer above the yellow background. You might want to adjust the brightness/contrast of the black and white building layer and probably fade the edges out by erasing with a big soft brush.

Greentunic, it is exactly what i want. i want to make same effect with buildings and aluminum parts on yellow (#ffd700) background.
i had make black and white with Filters-> Edge-Detect -> Edge and when i put it on yellow background it dont give me effect i want, but i did not try it with multiplay layer mode.
Thanks a lot.

Oh. That's what you meant.

Well that's easy.

First open up a new document, with the background color of your choice. I'm gonna roll with light blue.



Create a new layer and paste in your whatever.



Right click, Colors -> Desaturate, and Desaturate according to luminosity.



Set the upper layer to multiply.



Right click the layer, add a layer mask. Be sure to check the box that says invert mask.





Make sure the layer mask is the layer you are working on, fill in what parts you want with white.



Still on the layer mask, right click, Filters -> Blur -> Gaussain Blur. Blur it by so many pixels based on how large your image is. My image is 480x480, so I blurred it by 150 px.



Finally, lower the opacity on the layer until it looks good. At 75 opacity this is my final result:



Actually, don't set the layer to multiply, it looks better setting the layer to hard light.



I felt like I wasn't getting the rich orange color that was in your picture, so finally here I set the layer to soft light, then duplicated it:

Thank you all for your help.
İ had solved my problem.
this is the solution and link of original post:

http://gimpforums.co...ith-edge-effect

First, prepare a picture of the buildings:
- load picture in Gimp
- Layer/Transparency/Add alpha channel (allow the layer to be transparent)
- scale it so that your subject has its final size (but keep the surroundings)
- do an ellipse selection around the subject
- Select/Feather, and enter something like 10% of your subject size
- Select/Invert (so you select everything but your subject)
- [Delete]: you have an ellipse with you subject and fading borders
- Layer/Autocrop layer (removes all the fully transparent margins)
- Image/Fit Canvas to layers (resizes image around layer)
- File/Save (save as XCF filetype)



Then, create a picture for your background
- File/Open as layers and the picture saved above
- Move image to where you want it
- In the Layers list, set the layer mode for the buildings layer to '"Burn"
- Adjust effect using opacity slider at top of Layers list
