Just print screen with the color of the avatar area background, put it into photoshop, put your image over it, then proceed to test the avatar with the IMG tags. It should show up as it would show up as your avatar.
No I was actually referring to the picture itself, which somehow seemed to come out much darker and less distinct than I had anticipated. Actually, as you say, I've sussed that now. When I post the image in the requests thread, I just preview it and it shows me what it will look like when added. I've gone through about seven choices today and now I think I have the one that hopefully looks the best.

Also, I don't have Photoshop.
But thanks anyway.
