I think that ImageJ can do the job. As an alternative, try Paint.net
http://www.getpaint.net
IMHO, it's powerful, fast and freeware

He has some low-mag images of brain (acquired elsewhere) that he wants to annotate as he jumps up in mag to capture his confocal images from specific areas.  I have had Infranview on the system as a file viewer, but it doesn't allow him to add boxes or move them around with text.  Nothing against GIMP, but it's overkill for what he needs to do.  Is there a Windows XP compatible freeware that you could recommend?
