You can load bitmap images into Inkscape and manipulate them to a degree, but Gimp is much better at that. You can probably also load vector graphics (svg) into Gimp, but I’d assume they would be converted to bitmaps.
Vector vs bitmap is a good topic to be familiar with for anyone who works with computers, I keep running into professionals who really should know the difference but don’t.
Curious why you would need Gimp and Inkscape? Wouldn’t one of them be enough? Is one of them better suited for certain tasks?
They serve two different purposes - Gimp for image editing, Inkscape for vector graphics.
Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.
