Default Is Visio the right tool for annotating graphic images?

I am writing a piano book in Word (2000). It will have lots of music
examples. I will be creating those images in a music notation program
called Mozart. Mozart can export graphic images in a variety of
formats including EMF, BMP, TIF, GIF, EPS, etc.

I need to annotate these images with callouts, highlights, etc., and
do some cropping and scaling.

I have been using Visio. Is that a reasonable choice? It seems to work
OK.

The one thing that it doesn't have is any kind of image manager. I
will have a lot of little images and illustrations. Is there another
image processing program that will make it easier for me to link the
images to the main Word document?

Photoshop works great for this, it is expensive though. I think PhotoshopCS
would work OK too, which costs less.

Can PhotoShop crop vector graphic files (.emf) and leave them as
vector graphics?

I have found several programs that will crop graphic images, but when
I have them load an EMF file, convert them to bitmaps first and then
do the cropping. I would like them left as vectors.

I realize that this is a non trivial task, or at least a bit more
complicated than cropping a bitmap graphic, as each individual vector
would have to be examined individually, but that's what computers are
supposed to be good at, no?

Thanks
