It was the pt..something plugin in Photivio that gave problems, Quite a while
since I last used it.

But stick with Photivo, save as a 16 bit tiff, then open with Gimp 2.9.5

For RawTherapee, use this PPA to get the latest version 5

https://launchpad.net/~dhor/+archive/ubuntu/myway  It is worth enabling anyway,
lots of good stuff there.

RawTherapee will send to Gimp but for a portable Gimp you will need to put the
Gimp location in the RawTherapee preferences. example:

Truthfully, a bit over the top for me and my requirements. The place for
