After switching to a CDN I noticed that my indexed image count went down. I have close to 1000 images on the site with correct tags, alt tags, and all of that. Only 50 are actually being indexed in the organic search.

It's a WordPress site with Yoast SEO plugin, using Maxcdn as my CDN.

Moving images to a CDN is similar to migrating the URLs of other content.

Use a subdomain of your main domain (images.example.com), don't use the CDN domain name (893.mebes.bigbadcdnhost.tld)
Use 301 permanent redirect (www.example.com/images/foo.jpg to images.example.com/images/foo.jpg)
Update your site so that you refer to the images at their new URLs everywhere on your site.
Ensure that your images are crawlable on the CDN (not blocked by robots.txt)

I helped move images to a CDN a few years ago. With those rules in place, we didn't lose any image search rankings.
