Sounds like you need a software called CUMULUS, - I believe it is a Macintosh software, an image database with opportunity to manipulate found image.Jennifer QCA
>This may seem like an obvious question but I do actually have a few specifics
>that I am trying to figure out. Bascially I've looking for a image database
>system that allows to user to draw and/or make simple annotations to the image.

>I work and am at studying at a Photo museum and have developed a prototype for
>a condition/treatment report for collection material (photos, cameras,
>daguerreotypes, etc.). This report describes the physical condition of an
>artifact and therefore contains quite a lot of text and is accompanied by an
>image of the artifact. I put a version of this together using FileMaker Pro
>which only allows you to import an image not make annotations to it once in the
>database. I also tends to get clogged when you have any quantity of files.

>I've been hunting around for a database that has a similar 'single page format'
>with the capacity to alter imported images. Someone recommended Fox Pro, but I
>have not found out much about that program yet. If anyone has info/experience
