Even though I like GIMP, it doesn't work with higher quality images and
thus isn't that good anymore. I use ImageMagick for anything that needs
quality and it is great. A bit of a learning curve but very powerful.
For individual images I have started to use CinePaint which will work
with HDR images.
Here are some links to get the OP started.
