Did you mention some tools to use to add in attribution info onto images? Where
can I find those?

and authorship to prevent copyfraud
The original, unwatermarked images could also be archived elsewhere. People who
strip the attribution out of thoughtlessness or laziness would not bother to go
into the archive and download the original image. People who are conscientious
enough to source the original image are also likely conscientious enough to
attribute correctly after doing so.
