Hey SD,
Yes, you can use an external drive to store documents, and as if it's good for photo editing, this will primarily depend on the editing software being used. For example, if you're trying to run Adobe Lightroom desktop app on this system with professional editing tools, this IdeaPad Slim 3i may have difficulties keeping up due to the software's demanding system requirements. If you're using Photoshop online via the web app, a lot of the computing is taken off the system locally, meaning that an entry level system like this IdeaPad Slim 3i should work fine when photo editing in this capacity.
