GIMP Image Editor 2.10.22 For MacOSX/Windows And Linux Latest Version Free Download. GIMP is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image retouching and editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks. As it is an open-source program, it will appeal to those who know how to code and want to extend and change GIMP. This brings some considerable barriers for novice editors. You’ll need at least a month to get to grips with the basics, so it isn’t a fast solution. You'll find that you can’t make the most of the program from the outset.

Unless things have changed drastically in Catalina (and from what I read, they may have, and not for the better), you need to left click on the installer and when it opens drag the resulting icon onto your desktop, after which you'll get a warning about it coming from a non-Apple source and so on. Tell it to install anyway. Whereupon it will install. Or should, anyway -- Catalina seems to have broken several things, including some photo-related ones.

“Seems to have broken”...? Beta releases have been outside from months; itis hard to believe that GIMP MacOS team didn’t notice anything before.

Yes. Open GIMP; also if you cannot access e.g. Desktop files with the File → Open dialog, you can drag a Desktop file icon to the GIMP window to open it.
This is a fault of the GIMP (GTK?) File → Open dialog; in MacOS, if you try to access a “protected' directory (Downloads, Documents, Desktop, …) a requester *should* *open*, asking if you want to give your program full disk access, and transferring you to System Preferences → Security & Privacy when answering “OK”. Please, change this behaviour.

And, for what concerns the issue 'dragging the GIMP icon to the Applications directory', just dragging under MacOS on the same volume creates in Applications a soft link to the executable. If you want *move* the whole executable to Applications, use Command-Drag instead.
