Welcome to Linux. I use GIMP for photo-editing, but don't judge the program by my images, I think it can do a lot more than I know how to do. Perhaps it will work for you too.

Thank you! I was using GIMP last night, it's been a long while since I last tried it. I've been involved with Linux at some level since 1993 when I purchased Slackware 2.0 as a set of 50 floppy disks! I remember installing it to dual boot alongside Windows 3.1. I didn't get serious about it until 2001 when I became the network administrator for an engineering company which was almost entirely UNIX based. (HP-UX, Solaris and lots and lots of Redhat Linux boxes running on the user's desktops.) Very few people at the company used Windows for anything, so I had to dive in and learn very quickly.
I had been working as an IT instructor for a small IT school in Toronto and also teaching part-time at DeVry at night. The engineering company figured since I was a Windows NT expert at the time (true) I could quickly learn UNIX.. (less true.) I crammed like crazy before starting the job and on my first day they gave me a computer which dual-booted Windows XP and Red Hat Linux. The very first thing I did at that company was to blow away Windows from my computer and reinstall Linux in a single-boot configuration so I had no choice but to learn. It was total "sink or swim!"
I wanted to mention a couple of other photo programs for Linux: Darktable and Rawtherapee are two powerful programs which handle RAW files and may perhaps do everything I need. I need some time to evaluate.
It's funny - I had forgotten lots of my early experiments with Linux until @dswigle mentioned starting with it in 2000 - so I had to go back and think about my origins... Ahem... 1993 Denise! :)
Wow! That’s a lot of experience. I started with Redhat but for the last many years I’ve used Ubuntu because my wife took to it a little better.
Yes, I'm on Ubuntu 18.04. At work, it was all Red Hat but I find Debian based stuff easier to manage.
