    The image crawler is a different bot to the regular google bot - it'll do it's thing in it's own time. The image index gets a shake-up every 3 months or so.

    you dont have to inform google, your new image will be crawled and indexed by itself over time

    You have to use the alt / title proprieties in the image source html string to google find them.

    I don't know if that is true actually, I could be wrong but I think even without that they will get indexed. It just takes a while.

    true,if you just want to be indexed, but if you wanna rank for it , you need proper alt& description

    Try editing the alt in your image code on your website. When I first started out, I was always wondering why my images weren't on the Google image results. Then, I realized that I needed to edit the ALT and the description. Now , I have a decent rank for images but it's not that bad considering I'm ranking nicely in everything else.

    Yugo,

    The Google image bot will like your images more if they're named according to your alt and title tags. Example a picture of my red ferrari would be labeled as red-ferrari.jpg
