The reason for tagging your pictures is because Google' algorithms doesn't understand them so we have to help them, they are not optimised for search engines. Also it will improve your ranking with Google.

This also allows visually impaired people to use their screen readers to better understand your pictures.

Thanks, Therese, yes you can go back and update all your pictures, just don't change the URL.

Ok.
URL and file name are two different things on images?

When you go to your media gallery and click on an image at the very top you will see the URL of the picture, that is what you don't change but everything else you can, Therese.

A lot of newbies do not add any data to their pics, missed chance for them to be found by Google images

You are absolutely right, Loes, this is an area where doing it will improve their rankings where posts can fail, the same as tags in a post can do wonders.
