There may be an option to set the external photo editor in your
animation program's configuration menus - I would dig in there first.
You might have to give it the full path to the GIMP executable.

Alternately, if you need to change the default image editor set in
Windows, "simply edit the Windows Registry."  :D

But seriously, I have no way to test it (Linux Mint FTW) but this looks
like it might work:
