Right click on GIMP, select 'Open' and confirm the warning that this
software is not from a known developer with an Apple ID.
I can advice this only for downloads from our website www.gimp.org
because this is the only download site we have control over.
We are free people offering free software and decided not to pay Apple
every year for getting less control over our deployment process.

Many of us are involved into photography, too.
For quicker mass photo processing you might also consider using the
raw processor darktable (see www.darktable.org), which is specialized
for this job. And there's the website pixls.us where you can get
more information and discuss free/open source photography.
Anyway, you're welcome to use GIMP.
