If its digital, they all need to have a t least a little sharpening done to them. Some cameras will do that for you along with other things. How good it is depends on the camera. It also depends on the format you are saving them as. I take quite a few photos and process them myself : )

Well of course Photoshop is the "standard", although pretty expensive for casual use unfortunately. But you can usually get Photoshop Elements relatively cheaply... manufacturers used to include an older version for free whenever you bought a scanner. I haven't used the newer versions, but the old one really had a nice feature set.
Does your camera support RAW mode for photos? If so then you get a lot more control afterwards, but you will need software which can use that format. Not sure what inexpensive programs support that, but I'm sure there are some.

Thank ye, here's another : )
If you get a chance, take a look at LightRoom by Adobe. Its the only thing I use anymore, except for Elements to add the name. Its simple to use, the way it should be.

If your looking for free, an old but decent program, Microsoft Image Composer can do most basic things (including sharpening) it also comes with a .gif animator. Either 1.5 or 2.0 depending on your operating system.
I have photoshop and you pay for a lot of bells and whistles unless your using for print purposes.

I use Photoshop Elements, which has _almost_ everything CS does for about 1/5 the price.
Gimp is powerful, but I have heard the interface is a bit clumsy.
