Adobe Photoshop, currently in version CS2 (9) , is generally considered as the best, it is also $650 US. However, there are other very excellent programs available for less.
I would recommend one of the following programs, all costing under $100. Which you choose will depend on how you expect to use it. All four programs have free trials you can download and use for 30 days, so I would suggest doing so, to see which best suits your needs and personal style.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 at http://www.adobe.com
Corel Paint Shop Pro X and
Corel Painter Essentials 3 both at http://www.corel.com
PhotoImpact 11 at http://www.ulead.com/pi/runme.htm
Of the above, Paint Shop Pro will be most like Photoshop in potential and capability, but it may not be the one that most suits your own needs.
There are a number of free programs available, but none will be as capable as the above programs. However, they might do what you need to, depending on what that is. Linked below are seven of the free programs available.
