[OS X TeX] XY-pdf

http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM/xypdf.tar.gz

http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM/  gets you to the
home-page for the WaRMreader macros.
These allow you, among other things, to put TeX typeset labels
over an imported image, with any flavour of TeX or LaTeX.
There are many examples at this site, in both HTML and PDF.

It works by using the images dimensions to establish a coordinatised
Xy-pic diagram. Labels and other annotations are placed with great
accuracy, either by using the coordinates directly, or (usual)
symbolically by reading the coordinates of "marked" points from
an auxiliary file that can be constructed independently.


Hope this helps,
