When the image is editable in Word (such as Excel tables, diagrams, etc.), I simply open it and translate.
When I can't open the image for edition, I add a two-column table below the image: left column = source text; right column = target text. Every cell in the left column is one caption from the image.

GIMP offers more functionality, but is not quite as simple to use as Paint.Net which can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.getpaint.net/download.html
