Lots of folks turning to LIghtroom. Not sure of the price and have never used it.

Photoshop CS? works well, and processes RAW image. I hardly post process so probably is overkill compared to what you can do with it. I think its like $800 or something like that. Seems crazy expensive

I like Elements. I don't shoot RAW but have read several articles indicating that RAW is supported in Elements. :dunno:

GIMP is a free program you can download off the internet. It is very similar to Photoshop CS.

As far as free software goes, you get what you pay for, and no free software is going to be "similar" to either Lightroom or CS, other than a few basic functions. :twocents:
