Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card picture "left" the card in SS/PS. 
Though the book didn't say if the picture went to another card. 

Maybe the differences between the painting and photo images is that 
the painting images may include the full body of the subject. The Fat 
Lady's friend, Violet, was running through the paintings in GoF. How 
would she be able to run if her legs and feets were not painted? I 
suspect the Fat Lady's portrait includes her lower half too. 
Penelope's photo was probably from her shoulders up, so her image 
wouldn't be able to run or walk in the traditional sense. But even 
that can't explain how Lockhart's photos were able to put their hair 
in hair-nets...
