P: Allow customization/hiding of the splash screen

To be honest, I didn't mind the splash screen until today.

No offense to the artist, but I would like to see something less aggressive when opening an app designed towards creativity.

Oh, and carry that through all the CC suite, thanks.

Yes. Please. I know "everyone is a critic", but there have been some ugly splash screens of late. Adobe, if you can't (read: won't bother to) do customization, just make the splash image a boring "Ps" logo. Then I won't wince when I start up the app.

I agree with this.
It might be a little bit different, but what more and more people are talking about is that we have to see a lot of splash screens right now.
Until ps2015, loading was very fast, so when you press the shortcut icon, the splash screen goes so fast that you can't even see it properly, so there were few complaints about it.

However, the loading speed of the PS (especially the Windows version) is getting longer (even with ssd, m.2 drive), so it seems that the user's dissatisfaction is bound to deepen.
So... 
To be honest, when I used Photoshop, which had a fast loading, I didn't know what the splash screen of that version was all year round.

It is also good to allow users to customize the splash screen, or if you make the loading speed as fast as before CC, the complaint will be reduced.

Everyone, PLEASE UPVOTE THE TOPIC at the top of the page so it will get maximum attention.
We want to disable and possibly have custom splash screens instead of bad and/or offensive images forced on us.

Merged some threads here, please vote on top if you would like to have the Photoshop team spend time on this feature.

(But please do visit the rest of the sub forum and also search for threads that deal about workflow, tools, productivity, issues that stop / slow down your work, and vote, vote vote...)

Can we please replase that angry digital lady on the Photoshop 23.5 splash screen with something more subtle, abstract and less intrusive.

Don't get me wrong it might be good art to some eyes but I find it too intrusive and it makes it a bit unpleasant to start Photoshop. Perhaps I am too sensitive to what my eyes get exposed to, but really, it's too aggressive and overbearing...

Thank you.

Looks like this has been requested for YEARS now. For added annoyance, at the moment it's pretty much ads for Rings of Power...which I am not interested in and don't care to be advertised to. 😞

It's annoying, but not worth the coding hoops to jump through here.

I really liked the prevoius design, of a woman of color with a beautiful and imaginateive pattern around her.

The new one with the white woman warrior is somewhat offensive to me as it discounts all other races, I actually really dislike it each time I see it.

(I am a white woman.)
Could also change it up to something to do with helping the planet as well.
Thanks.

Can we PLEASE have the ability to remove or change the ugly artwork on all CC apps loading screens. I don't want to look at pink flamingos, a horrendous digital watercolour painting of a Glastonbury Festival attendee or a break dancer 50 times a day.

That's exactly what I want. I just made it in Adobe Premiere Pro 2022. I am on Windows, so I used a Windows system internal tool called Process Monitor to tweak it. Since I guess the CC app tries to open an splash image file, I need to figure out what and where the images are.

First, I captured events at the start of Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 in Process Monitor (there are buttons on the toolbar) and filtered out only those related to this app (find an event record of 'Adobe Premiere Pro.exe', right click it under "Process Name" colume and select "Include 'Adobe Premiere Pro.exe'" in the context menu.

Second, click menu Tools -> File Summary because I wanted to list all files Premiere opened during launch and then picked up the wanted splash image files. There are tons of files opened, but since I was only searching for image, we can narrow down the range of search a lot.

So, click the "By Entension" Tab of the File Summay dialog because image files have characteristic file extensions. In the left side of the dialog, I scrolled down patiently and found only one file extension (fortunately) that is related to image: png. Expanded it and I caught the culpret:

• C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2022\PNG\pr_splash.png
• C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2022\PNG\pr_splash@2x.png
• C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2022\PNG\pr_splash@3to2x.png

Now, opening them in Paint as adminstrator, we can remove the contents (Ctrl-A, Del, and Ctrl-S to save) or replace with other picture we like. Restarting Adobe Premiere Pro 2022, the ugly splash screen are just white. We're done and good to go.

Although the above approach is for Adobe Premiere Pro 2022, I hope it can provide a helpful clue for other CC apps.
