Thanks for the reply. I am certain now that I did download '18' as a snap from the software center. Still curious why that version does not appear when I search the software center. I remember having to set permissions before Gimp would work properly. I do use darktable extensively, as it is among my favorite RAW editors. On the Windows side, I use Capture One, also, IMHO, very good. I got rid of PSCC in favor of Gimp on both sides. I have experienced no problem with GIMP in conjunction with darktable, but have not tried to use any extra compiled plug-ins. I am an avid photographer (film and digital), and consider myself a fairly advanced user of photo-editing software, but I am certain there is much more that I could do by learning even more. Thanks again for your informative reply.
