I've not looked at GIMP for quite a number of years. Have they improved the interface? (Used to have a very steep learning curve).
Another possible option is Paint.net - again a good price.

GIMP has a complex interface, as does photoshop. It's not intuitive, but it is powerful, and is where I turn first for any such jobs now.0

Similar to myself but certainly there used to be an alternative GUI you could add that brought GIMP much more inline with Photoshop - think it was GIMPShop but could be wrong.0 -
Take another photo of the bunny with a plain background?...
Seriously though, another vote for GIMP.

Gimp is a horrible program, completely unintuitive. Reasonably powerful though.
It's definitely worth the money - and you can take that either way, or both ways
Photoshop is miles easier to use. Photoshop Elements will do as good a job as you could expect on those pictures.
But if the originals are as poor quality as the images you've posted here, the results aren't going to be spectacular whatever you use. So much going on, so few edges.0 -

It used to have those horrible floating windows but it's now a unified interface making things much easier (see screenshot) for free you can't complain.

Thank you everyone

I know GIMP's good, but as said there's a learning curve. A simpler alternative might be a basic version of Photoshop online (free).
