How to create and use Image Sitemaps
Through Google Image Sitemaps, Google receives metadata regarding the images contained on a website. Visitors can do an image search on Google. Using Google image extensions in Sitemaps provides the search engine with additional information regarding the images on the website. This can help Google discover images it may not find through crawling, such as those accessed via JavaScript forms.
To provide Google with information regarding images on the website, the site owner must add relevant details to the standard Sitemap. This includes the type of image, subject matter, caption, title, geographic location, and license. The process enables site owners to identify which images on each page are most important.
NOTE:
Sitemap Generator script will include unique images URLs in sitemap to avoid duplicating repeating images for all pages. Images sitemap is stored in a separate xml file.
An example of Images sitemap file on our site: sitemap_images.xml
You can find more details on google webmaster tools help pages.

The sitemap generator is an excellent tool. I use the tool everytime I update my site content, it makes re-submitting to Google a breeze.

I am extremely happy with your new "stand alone" Sitemap Script! The software is very easy to setup and use, even for a novice! I immediately found out that many of our sites had not been properly indexed since mid 2006!!! YIKES!
For the money, you can't beat this script!
