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.
