Elements, not the professional Adobe Photoshop that you're thinking of.
Almost every alternative digital editing program I've used has worked as good or better than Adobe Photoshop
Elements.
You think software get leaner over time?
To the OP - do yourself a favor - avoid Photoshop
Elements, especially on an underpowered Netbook. Consider it a good fortune that you're having a hard time installing it!!
