What you could use gimp for is to find the corrected color hues to gain back
lost saturation. Did you switch colors to srgb as well? Hue dynamics potential
is much greater. In fact it already shows in both planets, and the main ship
side light projectors.  It's normal the image appears washed out at this stage.
Do not despair ! It's really going to be worth it.
