Change the size of a users profile photo?
I found the answer on the Craft website under the UserModel section:

getPhotoUrl( size )
Returns a URL to the user’s photo at a given size in pixels (defaults to 100). You can also pass in &quot;original&quot; if you want to get a non-resized photo back.

Although this does answer my question, I feel the behavior between handling this &quot;asset&quot; compared to an actual native asset is a little cumbersome, especially considering if I wanted to apply an image transformation on the original file.
