I would recommend a MacII with a color scanner (try looking at LaCie it 
has been
coming bundled with some nice image enhancement and compression software).
You might also consider Hypercard as the front end to your images, altho 
there
are several visual databases available... sorry I can't recommend exact 
names.

Macs are good for people who have not had alot of previous experience with
computers and are especially good for visually oriented professionals.
