P: Allow customization/hiding of the splash screen

It is a repulsive image on the photoshop Splash screen as when I am creatively thinking I don't want to be distracted or irritated. Can I remove it. It is like having an argument before starting to work. It diminished creative thinking by forcing you to look at a person as if they were important. I want my thoughts free to my own imagination..thank-you. But since this issue has been raised for almost 5 years, it is obvious that you have no intention to solve this. This is an incentive to work with other programs. Please fix this or give an option for a SPlash Screen without a person on it.

Please give us an option to stable the ugly horse on my homescreen the horses ugly and so is your background

This has been driving me insane for the past three years.

Ever since the early 90s, I've always been quite happy with Photoshop's splash screens—in fact, to be honest, I never really noticed them very much. They quietly appeared and disappeared without much ceremony.

During the CS era, they became much more professional and sensible. What you'd expect from industry-standard software. I remember being slightly taken aback by the first couple of CC releases, which seemed perhaps a little informal, but to be fair, they were quite attractive (one was an Escher-like triangle).

However, in 2015 something went horrible wrong with Adobe's splash screens—not just in Photoshop, but across the whole Creative Suite range. It began with the utterly hideous "25 Years" Splash screen. Words cannot express how offensive and hideously unprofessional that one was.

The current 2018 splash screen is simply dreadful. We have these garish, sickly, unprofessional colors, and a creepy, spotty-faced woman. (Apparently someone hasn't been told about Photoshop's Healing Brush!)

What baffles me about all this is that the ONLY people who use Photoshop are creative professionals—people who have exceedingly strong opinions about the way things look.

Surely it's important for ANY industry-standard software to have a sensible, professional splash screen— but how much more important it is when the software is being used exclusively by a customer-base of users who care deeply about graphical presentation.

Adobe needs to either go back to sensible splash screens for ALL its creative applications, or (ideally) allow us to use custom images. I really don't understand why they wouldn't want us to be able to change it, especially considering how much we pay for the software.

For 2019's splash screen, v20, we will have a cleverly framed pool of vomit accompanied by a thoughtful array of vintage garbage spread haplessly about a paisley table cloth, and glints of light piercing through various parts of the paisley pattern as if to another dimension.  We've narrowed it down to either that or a fig leaf.
