How to make your avatar wink~











M
kay, so A LOT of you have asked about winking and there's a lot of concerns going on about winking = hacking, well that is totally false, this is just plain editing, it's cute and easy, and all you need is paint. And yes, I ain't creative enough to start this winking trend, it was Mai who started, she posted a picture on her blog with a winking eyes, and I saw it and thought about it for a moment, I figured out how to do it. And seems like everyone is so interested in knowing how, so I made this, and hope you enjoy~~
Winking with actions:
Step 1:
   Do the action you want, and hit the tab key on your keyboard to do your pose.


Step 2:
   And now, go find the "Print screen" key on your keyboard, it is displayed as "Prnt Scrn" Go to Paint, and hit Ctrl V. You should see the picture of your screen before you hit Prnt Scrn. Crop yourself out.
Step 3:
   Usually, all actions will have you smile or close your eyes, if they don't then buy the "Smile" action, click it after you tab your pose. Okay, so you leave your Pico there for a while, then your smile will be gone, and your eyes will reopen again, so now, print screen again, and go to paint then Ctrl V.
Step 4:
   Open the picture with your open eyes in Paint, select the eye and copy it.
Step 5:
   Paste it in the picture with your closed eyes. Make sure you align it properly or else one eye will be lower than the other! Suggestion: zoom it in before you start aligning, it makes it easier.
Step 6:
   Save it, and you're done~


Winking without actions:
Step 1:
   Repeat everything from above except you don't need to pose, and also, you will need the "Smile" action to close your eyes.


Tips:
1. when winking with actions, after you do your pose and print screen, don't walk around! because you can never pose the same pose again, if you moved, your open eye won't fit into the closed eyes picture.
2. Try to be quick, because even if you don't move your Pico, the system will move it for you! It's because if you haven't move for a period of time, you will automatically sit down, then sleep, and send home at the end. So be quick and print screen all the pictures you need before start editing!
Any questions are welcomed to ask~


Have a Wonderful Pico/Pigg life,
Have fun winking,

    1. hmm, normally you should have it without downloading it
      click on start > all progrmas > accessories > paint

      if you can't find it there, then try this:

      Go to Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. In the left-hand menu bar of the window, click "Add/Remove Windows Components."

      Select "Accessories and Utilities," and click the "Details" button.

      Select "Accessories" and again, click the "Details" button.

      Look for "Paint" in the list of accessories. If the check box next to it is blank, check it and click "OK." This will reinstall the program.

      If the box is already checked but the program isn't functioning, uncheck it and click "OK." This will fully uninstall the program. Then repeat the steps to install it.

      Open Paint from Start>Accessories>Paint. The program should now open and work correctly.

      if you STILL can't use paint, then reinstall it here
