So far I've used Adobe Lightroom and Photoscape, quite basic but they get the job done.

Not complicated, but very powerful. nod.gif
You could try GIMP (free), it is basically using the concept of layer, same to Photoshop.

Don't install any of it.

You just need Photoshop and that's all.

The most basic software for beginners is Picasa IMO.

http://picasa.google.com/

It is really easy to use.

You can also take a look at PhotoScape.

Lightroom is beginner friendly. If you are not confident in the beginning, you can use the templates, there are multiples of them.

Does it mean photoshop better than bundled software one??...
I thought its more to cropping, editing & layering purpose...

Lightroom is the essential,beside photo editing it's a great archive tool as well.
If beginner do try out photoshop elements which is a lot more cheaper although you lose some advance features from photoshop but not necessary hampering your editing experience.
If you have not exposed to photoshop,gimp is worth a try.The interface and ease of use is not as robust as photoshop.
