    You wouldn't, you'd just include the images in your sitemap if you really wanted to, although images usually get picked up by spiders when they see the image on a webpage, so as long as the images are displayed on web-pages that get indexed, the image will also be indexed.

    #Disallow: *.jpg
    #Disallow: /*.gif$
