Top Edit Tuesday is MOVING to the VCOIN Instagram!
That’s right! Top Edit Tuesday will no longer be featured on the IMVU Instagram and starting Tuesday, November 22nd, TET will ONLY be featured on the VCOIN Instagram and IMVU Discover!
As you all know, VCOIN is IMVU’s newest currency, created for the purpose of growing the service economy on IMVU and allowing ALL users the opportunity to earn real money. The biggest use case for VCOIN, is the buy and sell of gigs (aka services) like modeling, custom creations, hosting parties, AND creating Edits.
So for the sake of better supporting Producers, primarily Editors, we decided to move TET to the VCOIN Instagram AND add a couple of changes to the rules, which you can see below.
Starting Tuesday, November 22nd, in order to be a Top Edit Tuesday winner, you will NEED to….
- Accept VCOIN for your Editing services
Not only should TET be a chance to show off your skills, but it should also help Editors earn money for their skills AND help other users find Editors that they’d like to purchase an edit from.
If you don’t consider yourself a Producer and choose NOT to accept VCOIN for your services, you can still submit images for TET, but priority will be given to Editors that meet the requirement listed above.
What is a Producer?
Producers are your key to a custom and unique IMVU experience. These digital professionals are here to produce your IMVU world. If you can dream it, they’re here to help make it a reality in the metaverse with their expert touch.
Their specialties include modeling, editing images, creating custom items/rooms, and countless more.
Top Edit Tuesday Info
Top Edit Tuesday. This is a chance for our social team to celebrate the creativity on IMVU by featuring images that are augmented with a little extra flair. As well as an opportunity to support our Producer community by helping Editors feature their amazing services and grow their IMVU businesses.
Every week we see creativity that is even more sophisticated than the last. While our social team features these images on the Discover section of IMVU, it’s important to know that we also curate the content from Instagram via #TopEditTuesday.
If you’re wondering how to get your #TopEditTuesday featured by our team on the Discover section of IMVU, we hope that this will answer your questions. Feel free to come back to this post to double check that your edit isn’t disqualified and, therefore, not able to be featured.
Here’s how to participate in #TopEditTuesday:
- Use filters.
- Add highlights and shadows.
- Repaint.
- Enhance your image with lens flares, contouring, and text overlay.
- Change the background.
- Add a shadow to your avatar.
- Make sure your images are made on a 1024×1024 canvas for the best quality. Please credit the artist in your photo caption if you are posting a commissioned edit (created by a Custom Editor).
And here’s what to watch out for:
- NO real life backgrounds/images unless they are your own pictures from your smartphone or camera (this includes “morph” edits, where a real life photo is used instead of an IMVU-shot image).
- NO copyright images or logos. This could mean artwork or any brand logos in your photo.
- NO advertising. This isn’t for Creators or other users to use this program as a way to advertise. Any images with a clear “SHOP ME!” or “VISIT THIS” do not get featured.
- NO AP products or AP looking images in the edit.
- NO images copied from an internet search.
- NO images of celebrities or public figures.
- NO replications of other artworks (if you cannot provide proof of the creating process).
- NO excessive spamming of the same TET image. Be sure the above guidelines are being followed for the best chance to be featured on Discover!
TET Examples:
Below are two examples of “IMVU Edits.” The base of these images are IMVU avatars and then painted over to capture this artist’s signature look. A text overlay gives credit to a work of art.

This is a simple approach to an edited image. This Top Edit Tuesday by MissMaya is more of an enhanced image using a simple filter and updated light source. This type of enhancement is popular and easy to do.

This brilliant edit by llZEOll was created using several different options: a bokeh overlay on the entire image, an enhanced light source to highlight the avatar, shadows to add dramatic effect, and contouring to get the perfect makeup.
