Probably the best software for doing this (short of using some kind
of "desktop presentation" package) is Canvas 2.0, from Deneba
Software. Canvas will accept TIFF images and allow the user to
annotate with PICT type objects like arrows, circles, etc.
It also has excellent text handling functions, so that accompanying
paragraphs can contain text with variable formatting (mixed bold,
italic, etc.). I'm not sure how true a halftone rendering you
will get, but my recollection is that very acceptable output can
be had, depending on your device.
