Ooo.. very pretty! The colors make them a lot more interesting to look at! That the main reason why I never make avatars... mine always end up as just a cropped picture!  But if it's not too much trouble for you, I would like to learn how to do that effect!

Okay sure!
I'm not sure what program you use but I used photoshop...so I'm not sure if this technique will work in other programs..But anyway here's how it works:
1. Duplicate the image that you want to edit and set the layer mode to screen, you may have to do this a few times to make sure that it is light enough.
2. Make a new layer and fill it with a light-blueish greyish colour and set the layer mode to Exclusion
3. Make another new layer on top of this and fill it with a darker blue colour and also set it to Exclusion.
4. Merge all the layers together and then duplicate this layer and set the layer mode to multiply
And voila! I hope that makes sense....you can play around with the colour layers to see what works for the image and get really cool effects.

Ooh, the colouring is beauiful. I think I might have come across that tut, actually. Or one similar. I never really managed to get it right, though. Maybe I was just using the wrong pics.
Just going through my LJ memories... was it this tut, by any chance? Probably not... I'm just guessing.

Sorry, I can't access the livejournal website anymore! I'm at boarding school and the school computers all block Live journal sites! Grr...anyway, its quite a popular technique I think so I'm sure there are several tuts on it!
