I am assuming that you are using Mathematica 6.0.
One way to do this is to add the imported image as an Insert to another
Graphics construction, however, since in your case, you probably want to
preserve the natural pixel-based scale of the image, it may be better to
use the fact that the result of the import is already a Graphics object,
which you can manipulate. For example:
ss = Import["c:\\images\\bluemarble.jpg"];
ss[[1]] = {ss[[1]], Line[{{0, 0}, {100, 96}}]};
ss
Here I import an image file and ss looks like Graphics[Raster.....]...]
with a PlotRange of {{0,100},{0,96}} - corresponding to the pixel size
of the image.
Next, I replace the Raster construction with a list consisting of the
Raster object, plus all the extra things I want to draw - in this case,
one line - and send the result to the front end, where it displays as an
image with a line drawn across it!
