My wife does not wear hats and I am sure your wife would hate to part with such a fashion statement. :rofl:

Lightroom and Aperture are very equivalent programs, personally I prefer Lightroom but if cost is an issue and you already own Aperture you won't gain much by picking up Lightroom.

I would look at Elements, you get most of the capability of Photoshop at a reduced price. Alternatively you could break new ground and get a free version of GIMP, however as the user base is much smaller (including on here) I would be reluctant to go down this route as tutorials/advice are much harder to come by.
