Thanks for the input, all. I've found out that the version of GIMP I downloaded does have color management -- set at sRGB by default with an "Auto-Levels" function, but it's a button buried in a dialogue box in an inconspicuous place, without a shortcut in the "Image" menu. Now, as to how effective the "Auto" function is, I can't say. I'm too new to this to be able to give an opinion one way or the other.
That said, I do have an ancient version of Photoshop Elements (2.0) that I got with a hard drive purchase many years ago. Any thoughts as to whether or not it would still be better to use than GIMP?
