Try this link for some thoughts on the subject & a niftly little bit of Javascript that at least keeps people from stealing your images via right-click/Save-As: http://www.tashian.com/htmlguide/robbery.html.
I use this on my own site at www.paulsimagegallery.com. If you want to see how it works, just right-click on any image. As the article points out, however, there are still plenty of other ways for someone who's determined to copy your images to get them. If you do find an easy, foolproof way to handle this, I'd love to hear about it. As far as PhotoShop is concerned, don't be put off by the work involved to incorporate text. As long as you're using full blown Photoshop (not LE or Elements), you can record an action to do this. Once you've recorded the action, you can apply it automatically to a folder full of photos at a time.
