Note that most (if not all) companies who produce photo editing software provide demo versions that you can download from their website.
Also often digital photo magazines have cover CDs or DVDs with free demo software (30 days or 60 days for example).
Two of the best known products are:
Photoshop Elements (which you can download from here)

Paint Shop pro, from here

As the above say, the industry standard is Photoshop (you may have heard of people "Photoshopping my picture" or something like that?)
It's very expensive though, but they do another product called Photoshop Elements which is much cheeper and does a lot of the same things, but often more easily. It sometimes comes free with a scanner or similar peripherals.

I think there are a lot of alternatives to programs that were mentioned above. For me, the best is https:/ /aurora hdr.com /. This software allows you to edit photos in such a way that even the most unsuccessful photos become masterpieces.
