Doug,

you don't write why you don't want to have Gimp on the system and I
could imagine several.

If it is beacuse of the installation:
There is a portable version of Gimp that does not need to be installed.
http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable

Actually, the user could put that on a USB stick and use it without you
even knowing it...

Disclaimer: I have used several such portable apps myself, but not this one.

Steffen
