You mention Gimp - I'm guessing you're using it under Windows though? If you also run Linux there's a free Lightroom replacement called Darktable. I HIGHLY recommend it!

As someone also new to photo editing might I offer this? I have tried the free versions of most of the available software suites, Elements. Corel,Serif and some of the free ones as well. I have come across Photolightning by accident.
It is not as comprehensive as the others but for a beginner it is pretty good. You can have a go for free. Just type in Photolightning and you will be on the website. Download the free version and have a go. I think it is pretty good. Good luck.

I use lightroom and an old version (7) of Elements. I've dabbled with full Photoshop but I found it was too complex unless you use it very regularly.
Lightroom 3 does 90% of what I need, and Elements easily does the rest, and the interfaces are pretty consistant
However after reading this I looked on Amazon and Elements 10 is up for £33.27 (vs £65 on the Adobe site) so it seems too good to miss.

I use lightroom 3 and love it - I like to keep tweaking to a minimum anyway
