To make it easier to find the desired points in the new coordinate system, you can draw a labeled grid on top of the image while you’re working on it:
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[anchor=south west,inner sep=0] (image) at (0,0) {\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{some_image.jpg}}; \begin{scope}[x={(image.south east)},y={(image.north west)}] \draw[red,ultra thick,rounded corners] (0.62,0.65) rectangle (0.78,0.75); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

May I ask how to draw grid on the top of the image?
