This question is discussed in some of the other Stellarium threads on this forum.

If you mean photos of objects. Stellarium shows photos of various celestial objects superimposed on the star database if there is a suitable photo in the textures or nebulae folder. There is a practical limit of about 200 such photos before the average computer runs out of processing power.

In a future release of stellarium the DSS photos of the sky will be downloaded as necessary to give photos of all objects.
