Mr. Quinn,
GIMP has no single tool for this purpose. But it IS an editor with
layers and a different image can be added to different layers. With the
use of masks you can with great precision decide which parts of which
layers are "visible."
A quick google search
https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00SNWy74dxwuOXvjGfFV_Dbh8vKmw%3A1616081598113&ei=vnJTYK2qBo6F9PwPwLSwMA&q=photo+montage+gimp&oq=photo+montage+gimp&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyAggAMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeOgcIABCwAxBDOgQIABBDOgcIABCHAhAUOggIABAWEAoQHlDsvQFYg8IBYIXFAWgBcAJ4AIABVIgB4QOSAQE2mAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesgBCsABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwitgdWMlbrvAhWOAp0JHUAaDAYQ4dUDCAw&uact=5
results in quite a few "tutorials" on using layers to create a montage.
I do this a LOT, though for enhancing image I've taken. For example, if
an image of the setting sun has the foreground is too dark because the
camera overcompensated for the bright sun, I can create a second image
layer by duplicating the original, lighten it with a tool so the
foreground is brighter, then use a mask to show only the lightened
foreground of that particular layer (typically using a gradient); this
is a very common technique, a pseudo-neutral density filter as it were.
Given that GIMP is free and works very, very well, it may pay for your
effort at learning its use (I got into GIMP by digitizing old family
photographs that require MUCH cleaning, so I've spent many, many hours
using it).
Hope this helps,
Regards.
