If you want to grab a different size picture at login time, the omniauth-facebook strategy has an option to change which picture is requested.

image_size: Set the size for the returned image url in the auth hash.

For example, the large picture would be requested in omniauth.rb this way:

provider :facebook, 'secrets', 'sekrets', :image_size => 'large'
