ImageJ can 'burn' shapes, but text is awkward and I do not know an easy way to change or remove annotations after the fact like you can using 'layers' in Photoshop or GIMP.  Like most proprietary microscope software, the Nikon Elements that we use has an annotation package that works well for basic stuff and it all goes on a removable 'layer'.  Like others I'd recommend starting with whatever comes with the scope.  

all the best,
