Paint - Gimp - and Iphoto are free and easy to use. If taking iphoto pictures - practice with the focus and light by touching the screen, using a tripod, and the white headset as the clicker...

Lightroom and photoshop are pricey and have a few extra bells and whistles.

Are you using a Nikon ? you can change the setting and not have RAW images

I use Photoshop to edit my RAW images. They can easily be converted into .jpg, .bmp, etc. from the program. I believe IrFanView (a free program you can search/download) will also convert RAW files into .jpg's.

Photoshop is the "100 pound gorilla" of the industry.

This 100 pound gorilla is not named "Photoshop" this is (or was) Harambe!

I like and use GIMP. It's free, open source and a very close clone of Photoshop. It can do just about everything Photoshop can do, for free, with a smaller footprint and avoiding Adobe products, which many techies (in the support and security side, like my background) strongly dislike.
