Image optimization is actually process of making relevancy between your content and image your are using so the image should be as per your content requirements, secondly do use alt tag smartly, third use proper image format for logos, banners and general images that will lower load time of site and increase website performance.

So if i am optimizing for Red Ceunchy Crisps and have it in my title It is beneficial to have the images, alt, title and filename based around my title and this is also good for my on page seo ?

its been said but make sure alt=(keyword)---- also , if you are using wordpress, consider "Easy WP SEO" this checks many things as well as this....

Through image, we can optimize using 3 or 4 terms only. Like, image size, unique images, image URL and image name.. publish images in social media and image sharing sites(pinterest, photobucket and so on). thats enough..

I also noticed that if you have an image hosted on site1.com/img1.jpg and use it in site2.com with img src="site1.com/img1.jpg" also helps! Titles, alt and proper file name helps too! Also the authority of your domain is really important.

For properly optimizing an image for SE's, one should make sure that he doesn't miss alt and title tags.
