Hi Jim - No answer, but I was able to figure it out.
New App > Picture Library (Add pictures, of course.)
Manage Library > Add enterprise keywords.
Add enterprise keywords to thumbnail and all pictures view.
In the picture library, return to classic SharePoint.
Select the pictures in thumbnail view by clicking the check box (it's easy to miss, but selected pictures have a border.) Go up top to the Library tab > Quick Edit.
Hold ctrl down while clicking in the enterprise keyword field for the selected pictures (It doesn't look like it's selecting those pictures, but it is.)
Click the tag icon and use the "Add these terms to all selected fields" option.
Hit OK.
You should be all set.
