Hey folks,
I recently bought a low end laptop for word processing and scheduling films (I'm an assistant director).
At the same time I'm learning phtography. It just dawned on me that I could use this laptop for some minor photo editing. Nothing too advanced just the basics.
I was wondering if someone here could suggest to me a simple / cheap / low end (performance wise) piece of editing software?

Some, but nothing dramatic. It will depend more on the size of the files you're editing, and how dramatic the edits are. If you have 40 layers with smart objects and Surface Blur, yeah, you'll kill it, but for some really low level exposure adjustment stuff, you'll be fine.

this right here
granted it was photoshop5 when i first started, but i had no problem making meme tier images on my first laptop (500mhz)
The biggest resource drain by far is how large the image is, if editing raw (which you should) if you have 4gb ram, and a 1.5ghz dual core, you should have no problem dicking around, just don't attempt video editing.
