In photoshop, the information pannel give you that. I'm pretty sure it's also possible in Gimp.

Or you can make your own tool ! I made you a small example in jsfiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/zz3Rh/19/

The html :

<div id="image">image</div>
    coordinates :
<div id="coordinates">0</div>​

The css :

#image{ height:350px; background:#c00;}​

The js (with jquery loaded) :

$(function(){
    $(document).mousemove(function(e){
        $('#coordinates').html('x: ' + e.pageX + ' y : ' + e.pageY);
    });
})

BECAUSE WEBTOOLS ARE THE FUTURE !!!! :) (and because this is a forum for developpers)
