If all your looking to do is add a watermark with a copyright logo then you can do it in anything. Gimp is a very powerful free photo tool once you learn how to use it but I find its no where near as user friendly as packages you need to pay for.
Making the watermark semi transparent would look better but all you really need is paint if you just want your name on the picture somewhere.. But you couldn't put it in solid colour in the middle would kind of defeat the point lol.

If you just want something simple and user friendly try this

Not great for photo editing really but you can add watermarks easy enough and do simple things.
I think this should do you for a simple tutorial http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...al.html?cat=59
