Image Description & Image Title

[TP_Marketing]

Our site allows us to update via WYSIWYG editor. When adding photos to our pages it gives us the option to add (Image Description) & (Image Title). When optimizing a single page how should we properly be filling these in? Should Image title be keyword we are trying to rank for? If so, should we be following proper  keyword density ratio to avoid keyword stuffing?

Thank you

Filling alt attributes with keywords ("keyword stuffing") results in a negative user experience, and may cause your site to be perceived as spam. Instead, focus on creating useful, information-rich content that uses keywords appropriately and in context. We recommend testing your content by using a text-only browser such as Lynx.

Why not have the image title and description correspond with what is in the picture? I believe that if you build a website for your visitors that overtime you will see the best results. You cant ignore SEO but be practical about it.
