I'm hoping I'm going this right as I'm not used to this mean of server
communication. How did I cite my use of gimp in a formal scientific journal?
Thanks

gimp isn't a source and you aren't quoting. Maybe give the version
number? I don't really think it's an issue.

Yes, you should identify the software you used. Just select “About GIMP" from the GIMP Menu and copy the information in the window that opens, and give the main web site address.

Just out of curiosity, what journal is it?

There aren't any particular rules about it. I would start by referring to
the program as GIMP and not gimp, then the version number of the program you
were using. Saying "v2.10" or "version 2.10" should suffice. It would also
be nice if you included a link back to the official web site.

You might also want to refer to it by its full name: "GNU Image
Manipulation Program".
