I can understand making some changes in batch, like creating thumbnail images and adding copyright information to comments but adding an alt= description for blind viewers would have to be done an image at a time. I presume that is how news pictures are annotated. I also teach people to check compression image by image for important images.

It is as if a simple dinner recipe started with: "First make a fry pan. The coal is in that mine. The bauxite is in the other mine. Go dig."
