Elements does the non-batch things. Not sure if it can do batch things.
It is on sale at Costco fo $49.

Lightroom is a great batch editing program. Also, it has a few extra goodies such as skin softening, to hide those wrinkles and blemishes. I like the histogram that is provided for each shot, as that helps you to tune up a shot here and there. It is worth that price. Luckily mine came with the CS5 suite.
