I experimented a bit, and figured in the end it's not really worth it in any way.
I wanted to have a list of the people attending, and for them to set up their profile with an image. It's a bit easier to know who to look for, and that you know you're in the right place if you know who you're looking for.
I encountered multiple issues playing around with images that would take more away from the user than it gives. I figured the easiest way was to add another image field to the profile form, which I was able to show in a view, but even if I set the image size to the max value, it was just painful, as I could barely upload icon images, and received errors left right and center, as the image was too big, or at least that's what I imagine is giving me the error, even if the image is far from the 128MB the control can handle. With its almighty 418KB, it is almost 10 times smaller than the "Maximum image size" of the column set to 30MB, somehow I still get an error screen saying "The request is blocked" when updating the Profile Form with the picture uploaded to the new image field.
