For me it's

Google> PicMonkey (For Cropping, Filters, and transparent stuff) > Photoshop > Look up cool texts > Back to Photoshop > Magic > Avatar

The one I have on now was by Miyu, which I requested on the art forums ~

So that's how you make them look so cool.

Why would you use a online editor when you got photoshop (or any other decent editor) though?

Because I'm lazy and I'm a noob at photoshopping .3.

Download Photoshop and watch tutorials on Youtube
Easy.

I usually just take a random pic from the internet and crop it. Sometimes, I can't find a satisfactory pic of a character I like, so I end up screenshotting the anime and doing the transparency myself.
My current one was a request though.

SNB did my avatar.
Seriously just do an online search and use paint if no photoshop. That's what I did for the past 2years.

You can also use Paint.NET (what I currently use), free but can be nearly as powerful as Photoshop if you get the right plugins.

Never used Gimp but I heard that's pretty good too for free options.

That was more of a general statement, I have a lot of plugins and plugin packs right now (a bit too much to list) and not even everything I want yet, honestly I just go here if I'm looking for more and get things that interest me, or if I need something specifically I google around until I find either a tutorial for what I want to do or a plugin that'll do the job for me.

My point is less 'find the right plugins' and more 'Paint.NET can become powerful/limitless because of plugins.'

Again I don't have much experience in other image editors (haven't personally used Gimp, haven't personally used Photoshop, etc.), so I'm not sure if this can also apply to other image editors as well.

(sorry for vague response lol)

Ah, i know about paint.NET's potential, but i need some more (better) plugins as i noticed the few i have installed arent enough anymore. Thought that you maybe could list me a few of your fav ones. ^-^

Hmm, well off the top of my head, some I use most often are...

Grim Color Reaper is helpful for cropping simple background images.

Similarly if you're doing a lot of cropping work, this Feather plugin is good to hide bad cropping.

Alpha Mask I use a lot for making gradient text and such without ruining the antialiasing on the text (I'm sure it has more uses than that, but still trying to experiment with it).

BoltBait and pyrochild have some interesting plugin packs which add lots of cool extra effects that I tend to use from a lot.

For making rounded corners (for osu! avatars, obviously) I tend to use Radius Fill Corners, then increase canvas size, delete extra white space, then an Outline Object effect (either from both plugin packs mentioned above) to make an outline for said image edges.

Those are just a few I tend to use a lot that I can think of right now (they're all kind of common too so I won't be surprised if you already have them lol), I'll let you know if I find some more worth giving a special mention.^^

I usually search for Avatars source (or other graphics source) from danbooru & Zerochan (ofc I do the edit myself in Photoshop)

EDIT : danbooru is a "questionable" site, I suggest You don't access this site if You're still underage
