In my experience images in OCM are very limited (to be honest I can’t even recall seeing any). Could you provide a link to an example in OCM that does have images?
I see. We blur people’s faces and license plates before publishing photos uploaded to ABRP.
Good point, we’d likely not want images with watermarks. The charger in Italy is fetched from a different source in ABRP, and we have received an image contribution from an ABRP user:

Thank you. Since you took these photos, do you know if OCM automatically removes license plates and people’s faces/filters out irrelevant images?

Nope. That was done manually by me here:

Also there are some bulk imports by providers with watermarks.

I can see that other users have uploaded screenshots from Google Maps, and that this isn’t filtered out.

Our filtration on import should, however, filter such examples out and avoid having them included in ABRP.
Besides that, it needs to be investigated how many images we’d actually gain access to and if we have the right to import them.
Your images can, in the meantime be added directly to ABRP such as here (charger corresponding to the one linked above):
