[digiKam-users] HELP editing images in GIMP or Photoshop

[Dr Mark A. Garlick]

Thank you, Jonathan and Maik. Running the appimage was indeed the
solution. Now when I select open with it lists Photoshop and Gimp.
However, when I select Photoshop nothing happens. With GIMP selected it
works. That's good enough.

Thanks so much for your contributions to this, everybody.
