Depending on whether you can to super-impose the text on the original image or you just want to associate the text with the image as a tag in the header. [a.] Super-imposed on the image. For this we can use the example of Picture Publisher that Irina pointed out. It has a text editor that lets one add text to the image .... which means that this text gets imposed on the image as an object super-imposed on the image and takes on the resolution of the original image that one is pasting on. Most popular image editors let you do it. [b.] As text in the image file header which is displayed using a viewer that has the intelligence to read the text in the image header. For example, you could use TIFF with JPEG compression and put the text in a TIFF header info field/tag. These are just examples ...I am sure there are many other variations.
