No, it is not possible. Image does not copy from one subscription to another subscription. You need copy image's managed disk to other subscription.

You have two option.

1.Using image's managed to create a snapshot and copy this snapshot to other subscription, then using this snapshot to create a managed disk, then create a image.

#Create a snapshot from managed disk
$disk = "/subscriptions/************/resourceGroups/SHUICLI/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/shui_OsDisk_1_21af43450987448184b5e9793da08e54"
$snapshot = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $disk.Id -CreateOption Copy -Location $region
$snapshotName = $imageName + "-" + $region + "-snap"
New-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Snapshot $snapshot -SnapshotName $snapshotName

#copy the snapshot to another subscription, same region
$snap = Get-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -SnapshotName $snapshotName

#change to the target subscription
Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId $targetSubscriptionId
$snapshotConfig = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -OsType Windows `
                                            -Location $region `
                                            -CreateOption Copy `
                                            -SourceResourceId $snap.Id
$snap = New-AzureRmSnapshot -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
                            -SnapshotName $snapshotName `
                            -Snapshot $snapshotConfig

More information about this please refer to this blog.

2.Copy image's managed disk to a storage account, then using this VHD to create a new image.

##create $SAS
$sas = Grant-AzureRmDiskAccess -ResourceGroupName shui -DiskName shuitest -DurationInSecond 3600 -Access Read 
$destContext = New-AzureStorageContext –StorageAccountName contosostorageav1 -StorageAccountKey 'YourStorageAccountKey' 
Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy -AbsoluteUri $sas.AccessSAS -DestContainer 'vhds' -DestContext $destContext -DestBlob 'MyDestinationBlobName.vhd'
