Testing and backports are two different things.  There is no Gimp
package currently in backports.

Thank you! That makes sense now. I'm new to Debian (*long* time Ubuntu
user), so I didn't realize the difference.
SO, since Gimp version 2.10 is in "testing", and version 2.8 is in stable,*
is there a way to install Gimp 2.10 (from "Debian testing") onto my "Debian
stable" system?*
Kind regards,
--Brian

No. Not without breaking everything.

But Debian 10 Buster is really really really close to release (two more
weeks, IIRC). You can either wait for it to become officially declared
stable or just upgrade ahead of time.

See the Release Notes here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/index.en.html

Grüße,
Sven.

Simply add in '/etc/apt/sources.list' the lines for Buster but be
extremely careful when mixing stable and non-stable pkgs.

Do NOT mix stable with newer branches.

If you want to upgrade to buster, go ahead.  Now's a good time for it.
This close to buster's release, it's going to be relatively bug-free.
You don't get security coverage until the formal release, but if you
can live without that for another week and a half, it should be quite
usable.
