New Event Idea: Grayscale Avatar Day

[Duke87 1,070]

Yeah.. so, in attempting to think of something we haven't done yet, that's the idea I came up with. Grayscale Avatar day. The only issue with this, though, is that unlike flipping your avatar upside down or color inverting it, converting it to grayscale is not something MS Paint is capable of, and therefore not everyone has the capability of doing it on their computer. Granted, there are plenty of programs out ther that can do it. Photoshop, Microsoft Photo Editor, or, What I currently have and can use, HP Image Zone Plus. So, this in essence means that someone that wants to participate but can't do it themselves would have to say so so that someone with the capability can do it for them.
Simtropolis is kinda grayish already. Might blend a bit. Take a look at my current one, for instance:

 

....

 

..eh, well, if we think we can make this work, maybe we can get a date set.

Im In

btw can we have a sunset avatar day to?

If I remember correctly, MS Word can make greyscale images also.  However, I have MS Photo Editor, PhotoFiltre, Irfanview, and probably a few other free image editors.  Any idea about when we would do this?

Bucky doesnt want to be gayscaled, he says he's not like that.

*whispers*

Oh! Gray scale!

*asks Bucky*

He says it will damage his complexion. Not exactly sure what that is. but, I'll force him anyway.

get www.irfanview.com! (to lazy to make a href)

[Compromise 1]

Yes irfan view will do it as you can see here...

 

Good idea Duke87!

[hym 358]

Sounds like a sweet idea.  Although I have to admit, I lose all my good looking features when I'm in a greyscale.

<---------- Way ahead of ya!!  Oh yeah, that sounds cool idea!

[lakeyboy 12]

That sounds like a cool idea. And I discovered that with Paint that yes, you can't convert to grayscale but you can convert to monocrome (black and white only. no shades of gray) this might work with some avatars which don't have many colours and have just writing but it won't work with proper pics. So use  irfanview it's free and is a very small download too.

that's a nice idea! I'll leave my penguin avatar for some other time, and when The grey scale avatar day will come I'll have this one...

I'm in the same boat. Every day is Grayscale Day for me.

[choco1 4]

That'd be an awsome day! I'd be in on it! I missed the upside down day, so this would be very exciting for me.

[Slowhand 0]

Awesorme, a greyscale day!

Here's mine, so yeah.

[your_adress_here 11]

[TheCrybKeeper 301]

Your_Address_Here: every day for you bud.

We could make them redscale. Just filter the green and blue out.

Soo...this idea getting off the ground any time soon??

I might join in, even though my avatar would be in black and white. It has no subject to speak of, only unfathomable, random splotches.
