I agree re FastStone...it does everything you need and costs nothing.

These are basic editing tools. As long as you are sure you are not going to get a lot fancier, there is no reason at all to buy editing software.
So just download Gimp. This is a free photo editing tool that does everything you want, and more. Lots more. I use Gimp routinely. If you later feel like you need more capabilities, well Gimp will still be there.

photo editing.My Mac which died had Iphotos and for a variety of reasons I have switched to a PC. So here are
the tools I will need. Cropping , color saturation , noise , sharpness , healing tool , brightness , and hue.
Most of the editors I have looked at seem to be oriented more to special effects rather than making some basic changes to photo that is good to start with.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I second Gimp. Don't edit these days but when I did, Gimp did everything I needed.

Photoshop Elements offers different levels of editing. It might suit you.

My grand nephew likes "Photopad".
It's free and works well (for him).

My suggestion would be Capture One Express.

This is the simplified version of Capture One and can be downloaded FOR FREE!!! for your specific brand of camera.

It will do everything you ask for now and should you later on decide you need more powerful tools you can upgrade to the fully featured version.

Capture One is a Lightroom competitor from the same company that makes the High-End Medium Format Phase One cameras.

Oh, and it will handle your camera-specific RAW files.
