For me, it would have to be Corel’s Paint Shop Pro. It’s very close to Photoshop in terms of functionality.
I think Corel mucked it up a bit when they bought it from Jasc Software, so if you can get an earlier version, pre Corel, you should try.

Gimp. It’s free.

NeatImage, to get rid of noise. Also free.

Photoshop Elements is just under $100.00 and can do most anything you want it to.

Hi, good question…

I think some of the posters were correct with Photoshop elements and possibly Gimp. By the way, you ’should’ be able to get a good price on Photoshop on eBay, if you look around. I think, because you’re working on family photographs, that it’s essential you use a good tool and get it right the first time.

By the way, electronic scrapbooking is a great idea.

Here’s another photo editing software that’s under $50. However I must admit I’ve never used it, so maybe ask around a little before you jump into it:

Hope that helps… any other questions let me know.
