If you want to trail photoshop then both CS5 & Elements can be downloaded http://www.adobe.com/uk/downloads/

Advantage of this software is the guides that are available on the web and books. Photoshop is vast and can be found for less £170 as student/education licence. (software4students or Amazon)

Picasa has some basic tools, crop, colour adjust etc

Paint.Net. Gimp pisses me off with its many windows it opens.

My own workflow is Rawtherapee > GIMP - on Linux, but also doable in Windows.

You could also check out Cinepaint - glacial development, but has it's niche uses.

Paint.net for me, fairly straight forward to use and does everything you need. Gimp is more capable but it's a pain to use and seems geared more to photo correction rather than creation.
