I use Picasa for quick crops and edits, and organizing. Photoshop Elements 7 for more control or artistic work. Picasa is free and would suit your needs and is worth trying.
These are called "Amazing Circles" and are made in Photoshop. Each of the following is made from my own flower photos. |

For the sunset and the grass picture, I just used a windows photo editing software. Which was included in an old windows package.
The posterized pics were done in photoshop.(That I paid $200 student price for, when I took a class at the local community college.... retail it costs around $400) I recently got a new mac computer, with aperature and iphoto on it. Though I am used to using photoshop for most editing so I haven't played around with them yet. |

HDR of some slimy algae ridden rocks at a local lake. Looses details when shrunk down and resized though.

Are there any free applications that do some of the fancier things?

For HDR I use Dynamic Photo HDR which has many free trial programs and a good place to start learning is here.
To make an hdr image you need three (at least) auto-bracketed shots. To get identical shots which line up perfectly, a tripod and timer is best. Close nature shots are difficult because the slightest breeze moves things between shots. Practice! |
