Using gimp as an external editor with lightroom

[zeuspaul]

I have an old paid subscription free version of Light Room. I use a very basic approach. I export converted to tif from LR to a common folder with Gimp. Then just call up and do my editing in Gimp. Then export as jpg (or whatever) back to the common folder. And then using File Explorer to copy back to LR original folder. In lieu of File Explorer sometimes I use XnViewMp for better thumbnails than Explorer with copy/paste capabilities.
