I usually get Web page designs that I have to craft HTML/CSS for.

At the moment I use tools such as OS X's own Preview to size up various parts of the designs I get in order to extract widths and heights that I can use in my CSS rules.

Is there a tool that can come handy for doing this? For example, when I draw a rectangle around a specific component in the page, I want it to also permanently show the width/height of that rectangle.

Looking forward for your suggestions.

EDIT: I found a few "ruler" apps on App Store that are very helpful but are not exactly what I am looking for (e.g. they do not annotate the image itself, but rather are on-screen tools).

If you are using Adobe products, you should be able to get dimensions for any element in your design by selecting it and viewing stats in the Info Panel. I do not know of any tool that will permanently label your designs with dimensional labels.

If you're just looking to place callouts and measurements on the comp page(s), and you are on a Mac, just open the file(s) in Preview and then use the Annotation tools; lines, ovals, comments, etc... This is what I normally use for Image and PDF comps with clients. Cheers!

The info pane in photoshop can do this easily. However nothing I have seen puts this information on the image automatically. you could just add it yourself with the text tool of photoshop.
