As far as free alternatives go, the new version of Gimp is easy to use and very powerful. When I studied photography (old fashioned wet photography that is) we were taught to get the highlights right and let the shadows look after themselves, as well as a lot of other technical stuff which applies equally to digital photography. (Photoshop etc. replicates a lot of conventional tools like dodge, burn etc.). However; with my family photos, I don't really think in those terms. As long as the photo is in focus I'm not too worried about technicalities. A good photo is one that captures the personality of the subject. If it's one of me it doesn't make me look too awful...
