The message attachment field (which is where you would put an image to attach) is expecting a path to a physical file (like C:\camera.jpg) which it will then encode and attach to the pushover message.
You will need to have another action to run a program or similar and grab the image from your camera prior to sending the message and then specify this path in the message action, I don't know if you can grab a still image in HS4 as I don't use it - if so then you would need to look at this, if not then you might need to explore options like using wget or similar that can be given a command line argument to a location and download the image for you.

there is no way to grab the current image anymore, that feature has been removed
all you can do now is take a picture and view it in the browser, again useless

Here's an idea for a workaround. Keep in mind I'm not a programmer nor do I use Pushover so take it for what it's worth.
1. Use jon00's file monitor to watch for a new file to be created in the directory where the image files are placed.
2. Have file monitor trigger an event that runs an immediate script or batch file etc to copy (or rename) the image file to whatever filename/location pushover is looking for.
3. Trigger pushover to send the file.-Wade
