Is there a way for members to upload images using perch_member_form

Is there a way for members to upload images when 'logged' in and editing their profile using the members app, for example. I tried using

<perch:input type="image" id="profile" />

in my members form which submits but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of the image actually being processed or any way to output it.

Any ideas or alternative ways I could achieve this?

What's the purpose of the images? The Forms app will store uploaded files.

I need 'members' to be able to create a profile and then upload images associated with that profile, which can then be displayed. Ideally they could then add/remove images on their profile in the future but I'm guessing that's not possible with the members app at the moment.

At the moment that's not provided by the Members app itself. Members manages the account and authentication and basically gives you a framework to place that sort of functionality around.

It doesn't offer editing of page content itself.

Are there workarounds using perch members to create this profile page feature?
