Hello.
One of the best technologies for photograph collections is Lightroom.
It's an Adobe product that enables all sorts of enhancements to digital
photographs and allows you to add metadata to items for later retrieval.
Quite powerful, and easier to grasp than Photoshop.  An option is to add a
watermark to all the images as you export them (usually in jpeg format).
You can design the watermark yourself.

It's around $200.
