Ideas
I will tentatively say that the bug appears to have been fixed in the new update, at least I have not been able to get it to trigger doing all the things that would usually do it, make new save, load save, save away from lot, swap household, save and load again etc. It would take more testing to know for sure, but at least so far it looks promising.
EDIT: To clarify, I've only tested photos, I don't know about paintings by reference as I don't really use that feature.

Did photos that had previously turned black return to their prior state? Or did they just fix it from never happening again?

As far as I know, once the data is lost for the photo, it is gone for good, the only way to fix it is to use the method linked in the main post, which requires having a backup save from before the issue arose and of course it only an option for PC.
Always backup your saves, use "save as" often to create new saves and keep copies of your old saves safe in a different folder.

Well, for those of us on Xbox, we could conceivably access a prior save and save those photos to our gallery? And then import them into a current/new save? My understanding was that the bug did not affect old saves that weren’t accessed during the bug, I hope that this is true.
