If you are using latest Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 you might be annoyed with it's splash screen as I do. Actually I like it but the only thing which disturbed my eyes is that two imperfect dots on that lady skin.
So I started to google and found a solution. Download link for the tool was broken so I found it here https://github.com/jz5/pshop/releases on git. You will need Windows or you can use Wineskin for Mac. I've tried both for my Windows 10 machine and Macbook Pro.
You will need to unpack resources from Photoshop using psccIcon tool with this command psccIcon -e "input path" "output path" (change input path to your Photoshop Resources folder and output is where you want to unpack that resources. You will find a lot of PNGs and one of them will be Splash1080Background_s0.png which you want to edit.
Searching for the right piece
I've tried few different illustrations which I've made in past but it was not good for me...
And then I've realized I have the one I've made for 3000 followers on Steem post few months ago. Tested it and looks like it fits fine for me. Now I am calm :)
The only thing is left it says artwork is by another authors but it's okay. Anyway it's only for my own aestethic satisfaction.

LOL you found best solution for those two imperfect dots 😊
😂
Oh wow, haha! That's a nice hack. Gotta try that out. Thanks for the tip @dunsky :)
Haha :) Interesting what will be your screen. By the way, this is one of my favorites from official Photoshop versions:
Very beautiful. In my opinion, this is the level of art.
Спасибо :)
I usually click the PS icon and go to pantry for a cup of tea or check email or Pinterest, didn't pay attention to the loading..feel sorry to the creator about.. welll.. xD
Haha! And these days latest Photoshop is opening for 2-3 seconds on my machines and then for the whole day I do not close it at all but anyways there is something special on making it mine. I was always dreaming one day there should be my illustration officially there :)
Just do not use psp ^.^
This is the main source of my income actually :) I am drawing in Photoshop most of the time.
There is no alternative software? Of course I did not mean to give up your work ^.^
Isn't it funny how imporant aesthetics on things around us truly is? Especially being visual artists. I need my desk decorations to be a certain way as well, like my actual desk, not my computer desktop, that is a mess, so many folders it makes @winstonalden nervous. To each their own, right? ;)
Yes, it's very funny though it's nice to have everything set and ready for work to be inspired even with that small things around.
Oh, that's great, @dunsky! Thank you for the post! I didn't know you can change the illustration.
I'm gonna try it today ('cause the image is not my thing either XD).
Glad to hear that! Let me know if that will work for you too and I would be glad to see your result :)
