XD Ok, I'll give you that for finding screencaps, though again, that alone would've taken me forever XD

You don't need to take all the color out... This is going to be super hard to explain.... um....

*idea!*
SO. Examples always help yes (all my stuff too btw lol)? Here is how I see the difference between greyscale and b/w.
This is (what I consider) greyscale:



This is (what I consider) b/w:



Greyscale always seems... softer, yes? B/W usually comes across as a lot harsher/sharper due to how crisp it usually looks. That's usually how you can figure out where it lands. If you look at the 2 b/w icons you can see that the black is BLACK. It's not soft, or blurred. It's sharp and dark, absolutely black. If you're going for greyscale that usually how you can tell you've gone to far. Like in the David Tennant icon you can still see color variation in his face because it's grey lol. Neil and Annie's faces look like they're one solid color (well Neil's has shadowing going on, but still lol).

Hope that helps! :D AND YAY! COOKIES!!!!

I SEE!!! That's really helpful. =) I edited all the icons, and I think by your standards all of them are greyscale. (Except I think the dorky one was black & white before I put the texture in. lol)

Overall it's all greyscale though, I think. Yeah? And I tried to make them sharper and more icon-y. o.o Are they better, do you think?

PS THOSE ARE FAB ICONS. All my favorite people and favorite shows. lol. Matt Bomer. mmmm.

Awesome! I'M SO RELIEVED! THERE IS HOPE FOR ME! XD really though the way you said it made a lot of sense and helped a lot so THANK YOU. (And it's totally cool! I'm a blunt sorta person. I can take blunt. :P)

And now that I'm looking at these on my phone I can def see what you mean. I don't know what's going on with it though bc I desaturated all of the layers. X.x I'll have to look at it when i get home. >. < (and lol at all your edits :p).
