Generally speaking, the Core i5 is going to mop the floor with a Core 2 Duo for this kind of thing. So unless you know for a fact that the photo editing programs you're going to be using are heavy into using the graphics card for operations, the better architecture of the i5 will win the day easily.
And while it's true that a SSD would be a bit faster, SSDs still haven't quite reached the same longevity level of HDDs. Photo editing would probably chew through those write cycles very quickly.
I do also question the wisdom of doing any kind of regular photo editing on a laptop. It's just not a good idea. Too much heat with nowhere to go, which ultimately ends up slowly roasting the internal components causing them to fail much earlier.
