Blurring the edges of a layer on Gimp?

I am trying to blur a layer on a Gimp photo. It’s a pink layer called ‘Capa 1’. I have tried inverting the layer, and feathering however it hasn’t worked.

I need to blur the edges so they are not sharp on the website I need it for: https://takanodan.net

This is the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hl07vppnvdf50hs/headerimage.xcf?dl=0

Anyone help me and guide me through? Can’t figure it out.

Thanks!

Answer

Use a gaussian blur filter on the layer, set the radius around 45px. This will blur out the right and left edges.

Then select the Eraser tool, and in the Tool Options lower the brush Hardness, and increase the Size to get a large soft edged brush.

Erase along the top and bottom edges.

Here’s the result.
