I'm sure many people have copies of out-of-date Photoshop Elements that could run on an old computer. I used Elements 6 for a few years before I finally learned Photoshop itself. For getting Layers for Elements 6, I used Grant's Tools as a plugin.
I would not recommend Lightroom the same way. From my experience with early Lightroom, it was terrible compared to Elements. But maybe my ease with Elements had something to do with that.
Hope this helps.

I have a friend who is just getting into photography, has spent money on gear and doesn't have funds for a new computer at this time. His laptop is oldish and doesn't seem to be managing light room well.
Can anyone make a recommendation of an editing software program that would be good for someone in this position?
Thank you,
