I was doing the same for a while, until I discovered matlab2tikz and 
decided to learn the basics of PGP/TikZ.

Now what I do:

- I first plot the figure in octave using latex syntax for the texts 
(labels, titles, whatever).
- Then I use matlab2tikz (https://github.com/nschloe/matlab2tikz) to 
convert the plot to tikz.
- Then I can do all sort of manual modifications, including adjusting 
the text position, transparencies, etc.

Good luck.
