Is there away I can add LaTeX text, fonts, equations on a image. After searching around I noticed there is a PGF package however it seems I will need significantly some time to learn the package!

You can basically use tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9559/…. Instead of the \draw command use \node at (⟨x⟩,⟨y⟩) {⟨LaTeX text⟩}; – Caramdir Jul 24 '11 at 21:30
What format is your image (EPS, PDF, PNG,...)? Also, it may influence a choice of package if your preference is latex as opposed to pdflatex. – Werner Jul 25 '11 at 5:34
Learning tikz (which is a high-level interface to pgf) is both easy and fun due to an excellent manual. You might also want to try out METAPOST and/or Asymptote. – mbork Jul 25 '11 at 7:34

If you can convert the image to an .eps file, then you can use the PS Tricks package:

% pre-amble
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pstricks}

% document body
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(6,6)
%\psgrid
\rput(3,3){\resizebox{50mm{!}{\includegraphics{image.eps}}}
\rput(1.5,0.8){$\frac{P}{5}$}
\end{pspicture}

However, if you use this approach, you won't be able to use pdflatex.
