| Switching to a 64-bit OS would let Gimp use most of your 8G.

I should have mentioned that there is a beta of the 64-bit Raspberry
Pi OS (the new name for Raspbian).  It dates back to the end of may.

I haven't tried it.  It should be easy since all it costs is the use
of another SD card.  Kind of like the old days when your OS lived on a
floppy drive.
