With the multipicity of various softwares, what would be a good place to start?
I am looking for general sharpening, perhaps changing from color to sepia, B&W, etc.; changing the perspective in architecture, replacing skies, darkening, brightening, removing undesirable objects, changing contrast, etc.

You might be able to use FastStone Image Viewer for what you want since it does offer basic adjustments (it is free).
