Embellish does.

Save a Jpeg in Embellish and you'll see what I mean
- in Gimp by moving windows around and using your photographic memory you
sort of get the same tool as Embellish offers.

Embellish, run it on either an OS/2 or a MS-Windows platform.
It is quite a worthwhile little app, I just wish Wine could run it
