Adobe Photoshop Elements at Sam's Club is $89.95. It's probably about the same cost at Best Buy or other places.

Then, go to a bookstore and get "Photoshop for Dummies" for about $10.00.

I used Photoshop Elements in the Quick Fix mode and you can do almost everything you want; but you can also use the full program as you learn more about it.

The part about layers is the most difficult for me, but I just need to work through the tutorial that Photoshop includes when I have time.

I wouldn't go with another software program than Photoshop because it's really the gold standard (in my opinion).
