A few weeks ago, I created a simple (hyves) tool in collaboration with LBi Lost Boys for 3FM Radio. In this tool, Hyves users can create a mughot from their profile picture. This picture is automatically stored in the user’s picture library on hyves. It took me 3 days to make this tool. The technique behind this is fairly simple. The profile picture is desaturated and the new image is send to the server as raw octet-stream through the ByteArray which flash provides.

Below is a short video of how it works. (It’s HD so check it fullscreen)
