Photoshop Creative Cloud which comes with Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Bridge. PCC also accommodates many third-party plug-ins. Adobe rents PCC for $9.99 per month (last time I looked).
Adobe regularly updates this software with no extra charge.
This combo you cannot beat with a stick.
If not ready for PCC, then consider buying Photoshop Elements. Some say it can do almost all photo-editing a photographer needs. PE will prepare you for moving up to PCC later.

Lots of choices.

I don't believe the Adobe Photography suite is going to work on the Chromebook. The Chromebook is essentially nothing but a browser and is not designed for the installation and running of traditional programs like on a PC or Mac. Also it is pretty anemic in terms of memory and processing power so is not going to provide the most robust image manipulation experience.
In this case your best bet is to upload images to Google Photos and use the quite capable online editor that it comes with. Remember you will need to be online to use Google photos but this is how a Chromebook is designed to be used anyway.
Hope that helps.

The Chromebook has 4GB RAM and a 32GC SSD drive. It is not designed to run complicated programs. Most programs are also designed for either the Windows or MAC operating systems. So - you can do the online photo editing, or use the Chromebook for browsing as designed and get a good desktop for photo editing...

From my experience, Google pixlr (which replaced picasa) is the only thing at this time that will work with a chrome book. There are other programs on the webstore but they are not worth using. Allegedly adobe will be launching browser based versions of their software for chrome os later this year.

I would use Google Photos it uses cloud storage and is Free, it also has a good photo editor.

Today's Tiger Direct ad featured 98 models of Chromebook. Jerry's response had some good suggestions. Maybe Chromebook doesn't suck as badly as some think...

Chromebooks are not bad! There was an article somewhere recently about education and school systems. In a couple years Google managed to change the focus for teachers by providing educations specific apps. Chromebooks are now shipping at a rate about 5 times more than Mac and Windows systems into school districts.

I don't think it's the best fit for photo editing. They are great machines, but so is a Smart Car. If you drive a car into urban areas, nothing beats it. But don't buy one expecting to haul building materials from the Lowe's or Home Depot. Wrong tool for the job.
Same goes for the Chromebook platform. It's not ideal for real photo editing, but if you just want to do some minor tweaking, it's ok.
However, you can get Android apps to run on some versions of the Chromebook, and I presume that Snapseed is one of them. If it is, then you have the full power of Google's Nik collection ported to Android and runnable on the Crhomebook. I haven't tested this or even know for sure if this is possible, but it is worth investigating. Otherwise buy an Android or IOS device. Or just get a laptop running Windows 10. Then at least you'll know you can use any software you'd want to use.

Take care if you use Google Photos that Google does not grant itself a right to use your photographs for its purposes, as part of its business model, without compensation to the photographer.
