I am looking for a photo editing software that is easy to use. I currently use Picasa and iPhoto, but they do not allow me to add good looking text and other features. I need something a bit more professional, yet easy to use.

I have tried Photoshop CS5, but that is like learning a new language. It's a bit too complicated for an amateur. Is aperture easier to pick up, preferably as easy as iPhoto?

Thanks!
 
Another suggestion

Graphic Converter is a terrific image editing piece of relatively inexpensive software.

I personally like Aperture or Adobe lightroom. I feel these two photo editing softwares are powerful enough for amature photography. They offer many options of photo enhancements and they are relatively easy to use.

For adding text, you could do it through water mark. You can directly add text water mark in lightroom. Aperture probably cannot do this (I am not sure).
