How to change Photoshop Splash Screen

[sillybob123]

(NOTE: This tutorial assumes you are using Photoshop CS3, if you don't have it...get it lol)

 

Alright, gonna teach you how to change the Adobe Photoshop (actually can apply to all adobe programs...but we will keep it based around photoshop) Splash screen loader.

 

Step 1: Make sure you have Adobe Photoshop (not gonna give you a link, so don't ask)

 

Step 2: Download ResHack Resource Hacker (just choose the europe server to download)

 

Step 3: Unzip the file (duh) and open up reshack

 

Step 4: Click File, then Open.

Step 5: Browse to your Photoshop directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3) and open PSArt.dll. (IMPORTANT! Make a backup of this file incase you screw it up!)

 

Step 6: Expand the PNGF folder located on the left of reshack and scroll down to the folder called SPLASHARTBACKGROUND.PNG and expand it.

Step 7: Click the 1033 file, then go to Actions and click Save Resource as a binary file. Save it wherever you want and as w/e you want, but make sure to put .png at the end to make it an image.

Step 8: Open that .png in photoshop, well look at that, it's the splash screen! Now edit it to your heart's content but make sure not to put anything where the credits/creators names go. Remember to save as a .png when you are done (best way is file>save for web and devices, and make sure it's saving as png24) and close photoshop.

 

 

Step 9: Go back to reshack and and right click the 1033 file and select Replace Resource.

Step 10: Guide it to your .png that you edited, and in the boxes fill in this info.

type: PNGF

name: splashartbackground.png (it auto capitalizes it so don't freak out when you can't type small lol)

language: 1033

And hit replace.
