Thanks for all your help.
I have followed your excellent video about extracting the appimage and can now run gimp from the terminal.
Unfortunately, ubuntu seems to have made it virtually impossible to create a launcher. I have manually created a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ but my syntax must be incorrect as I cannot get it to run. Much searching on the internet has failed to find the answer!

KDE is a bit easier for making desktop files. This one from ~/.local/share/applications/
Gimp desktop file looks like this
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/media/rich/Data/gimp-app-2-10-20/squashfs-root/AppRun
Icon=gimp
Name=Gimp-2.10.20
NoDisplay=false
Path[$e]=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=You might have to tweak the icon path as well as substituting your path to the AppRun file
