I don't know how your "average" novice - with the current financial pressures of family etc. can afford to get into the hobby.....

I realise that. Unfortunately Photoshop is the standard in image editing software. Another way to get in is to buy it second hand as licences are transferable. It's just a phone call to Adobe. From there you will get a discount upgrade price to a version of your choice if ypur version is eligible. If Photoshop cost is too steep other recommended the gimp which is still open source I believe. Pixinsight will do a lot of what you're after for a fraction of the price as well.
