As per the title, which stack exchange would be most appropriate for an image processing question?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.

Both are computer software — well, Super User is the place to ask, definitely.

Check out our existing questions for:

If you instead want to do image processing using some programming language, Stack Overflow would be better.

    Note that IIRC Gimp is scriptable. While it could be argued this is programming, we usually also accept questions about it. See e.g. VBA in Excel questions, or shell scripting. – Daniel Beck♦ Apr 23 '12 at 7:47

There's also a Graphic Design Stack Exchange:

Graphic Design is for questions targeted toward 2D design professionals, students, and enthusiasts.

This includes questions about:

  • Graphic arts theory and history; "Why" we do what we do and not necessarily the "how" in logo design, fonts & typography, visual communication
  • Web design
  • Layout and printing
  • Illustration
  • Digital media
    Examples: video, Adobe Flash

but not about:

  • Simple "How to" questions
  • Brainstorming or idea gathering
  • Technical questions related to 3D software
  • Technical questions related to video editing software
  • Web site architecture and development
    Examples: HTML that doesn't include CSS, server-side issues
  • Landscaping and architecture

If what you want to do is post-processing of photos, I'd suggest Photography Stack Exchange.

    Only if it's photographic processing or retouching, they don't allow questions on Image Manipulation (outside of the Photography context) as per the FAQ. If it's a technical question on the operation of the software, it may as well go on SuperUser. – Bob Apr 22 '12 at 17:01
