"We Are The New Vintage"

There is rarely such a thing as an image that looks great right off the camera. So yes, you will want some software to finalize your shots. But it doesn't have to be an investment. I use software that came free with my scanner, works fine for basic touch-ups. One of the photographers I work with regularly uses GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) which is a free download available at www.gimp.org. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles you get with something like Photoshop, but it is free, and free is usually a really good place to start :)
ALSO A LOT OF OTHER THINGS LIKE CAMERAS, TABLETS ETC. COME WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS. YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT GETTING ONE OF THE INEXPENSIVE WACOM TABLETS. THEY MAKE EDITING PHOTOS A LOT EASIER TO DO.
if you're using a mac it comes with photoshop elements 7

Photoshop is not super simple to use. If you buy it, try to find a class to help you learn it. Does your friend have good photography skills? I teach classes for people who have a DSLR and have minimal skills. Learning how to use the camera settings correctly is the easiest way to make the photos look better. White balance mistakes are the cause of many bad looking photos. Lighting and good poses are important too. Good luck and have fun.
if you have itunes there are many free podcasts with photoshop instructions and tips.
