I put a robots.txt file on a website that tells Google not to index images. I also put the meta tag "noimagefollow" on the new pages. Will this discourage Google from indexing other things like content text or the whole page even?

AFAIK, the "noimagefollow" was an AltaVista only tag, so that probably won't work.
As for Google, the best bet is to put all images in one folder, and ban Google from that folder via robots.txt. You may need to ban:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
As well. http://www.google.co...ove.html#images has some great info on this, as well as some tools to remove the images already in their index.
FYI, a really good robots.txt file is the one @ WMW: http://www.webmaster....com/robots.txt. lots of UAs in there, well worth looking at at any rate.
