You get what you pay for with editing software.  Gimp is one of the only free editing softwares available that doesn't skimp on editing options.  There are a multitude of "free editing softwares" out there, just google free photo editing software, but many of them do absolutely nothing in terms of actual editing, except simple b/w or sepia edits, crops, and basic color improvement.  IMHO, if you are looking to learn ar improve your editing, GIMP is your best free option, and after that you are better off spending a little bit of cash on a full featured editing suite.

Photoshop Elements is perhaps slightly more than Corel Paintshop Pro, but I found it easier to use.  It also prepared me for the jump to Photoshop CS5.

What works best for you, will depend on how your mind works.  Download the trials and try them out.

Faststone Image Viewer is a free editor, batch converter and all around time saver if you just need some quick fixes.  It is also my go-to app for sorting and trashing the junk and it is a VERY capable application with a clean interface. (and does RAW)

Google it..
