Elements is a good start on Photoshop.  Lightroom has its place too.  It depends on what you want to do.  Both will level and crop.

Elements has a stripped version of Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop.

Lightroom has the same Adobe Camera Raw engine as Photoshop, but it is a browser which also lets you do some simple editing and printing.

Adobe Camera Raw has quite a bit of power.  It is designed to work with raw files but it will also work with JPEG files.  The full version has a lot of useful tools.

If you want powerful free software, look into GIMP.
