One thing I'm finding out is that my desktop PC is struggling to edit images the size I'm taking. It took lots longer to open and scale this than before, and after testing edits with levels, curves etc, it's really quite a load on this old Dell.
I also note that this is the first time I've taken a photo where viewing full showed up the heat wave distortion(on the house on the right center). I'll post more in the discussion forum as I progressl.

I'm not sure that you can do this in Gimp (you can do it in Paint Shop Pro) but try creating a new adjustment layer for Curves and another for Levels. I find that it takes basically no time to process at all compared to actually applying Curves and Levels directly to the image.
