really care what the size is, but if it is over 6k, you'll get an "are you sure?" message, as it is kindness to the rest of the world to keep key sizes from getting out of control. GPG does not manipulate/ resize the photo in any way. The command is "addphoto", in the --edit-key menu.

Is there any guidance on what size PGP expects it to be (in terms of
screen dimension, not size)?

These days it's 120x144, but in the past it was double that (220x288).

Incidentally, GPG will allow you to have more than one photo ID, and PGP only permits one. PGP (9, anyway) will accept a key with multiple photo IDs, but it will only show you one photo. This is actually a bit of a step backwards - in earlier versions it showed all photos, even though it would only generate one itself.
