I have customized by seeing photos in PA20, PA30, ... but it doesn´t run correctly. When I execute the OADD transaction the result is ok, but when I look at PA30 I can´t see the photo. 

In PA30 if I look by "Extras-> display all facsimiles" the photo appears correctly, so the photo is assigned to the employee number. 

Then my problem is in the initial screen in PA20, PA30,... (when the photo doesn´t appears. I have read in other topics that you have changed the table T588J, but I don´t know what to change. 
 

You have to use PERNR PIC somewhere in the lay-out you use !
 

I have changed it but the photo doesn´t appears. There is something else wrong.
 

From an OSS message from SAP : 

For using an employee picture in the PA20/PA30 please check that you have a correct customization for the infotype header. 

For further information please have a look at the corresponding point in the customizing for 'Personnel Administration' - 'Define Dynpro header'. 

You have to check the table T588J and T77S0 (define document type for pictures). Additionally, remember that the photo should be in JPG format." 

You may find helpful note 353949. 

T588J could look like:

00 1 60 0001 PERNR PIC
 

The problem is solved. It was a authoritation requirement.
