I have to admit post processing used to scare me. I just used Picasa for most of my editing. When I decided I needed to learn more, I bought a version of Paint Shop Pro on sale (less than $50 US). It was very user friendly and through trial and error I learned a few things. There didn't seem to be as much online info and tutorials on Paint Shop Pro as there was on Photoshop Elements, so when I found a really good deal on Elements, I bought that. Followed online tutorials, asked questions and kept going. Less than a year later, I sprung for Photoshop CS3 (I got it 1/2 off) and haven't looked back. Still have A LOT to learn, but it's amazing what you can teach yourself.
