low cost RAW editor?

[mc-cro]

My laptop crashed and I lost my PS and Bridge software, so I am looking for a low cost alternative. while the PS Bridge worked extremely well, I only used very basic functions. I adjusted color, zoomed, and played with some of the shadow/highlight adjusters. I only used PS for resizing and saving. Thats a lot of overhead just to edit the WB and resize.

Are there other low cost alternatives that will allow me to adjust the RAW images, resize, and do basic functions?

Photo Elements is my fav. Great organizing features. Ability to group edits too.

The free option would be to use GIMP and UFRAW to edit your RAW images. Here is how you do it: RAW Photos With GIMP | How to GIMP

Free is very nice, although the group editing and organization says a lot too. trying to clean up and edit 100 pics of the tank to find 10 good ones gets a little tedious
