you use a simpler term for these types of users? Does "oblate" even
fit?

As others have said, no. In fact, I've only ever heard the word "oblate"
used to describe astronomical bodies, as in "Due to its rapid rotation,
Saturn is oblate."


It's also a particular type of religious vocation. An oblate is a lay (usually) associate admitted to participation in the devotional and service activities of a monastic order. I would certainly be surprised to see it in used to describe a photograph.
