Custom Splash Screen for LR

[fotoworx]

Is there anyway of creating a custom splash screen for the latest iteration of LR?

I know there was with previous versions, but I can't see way of doing it with the current version.

Thanks

Depend what you mean by "Current Version"- Current version of LR-CLassi or LR-CC?
I have tested and custom splash screen works with my Classic 7.1 in WIndows-10

Design your Splash screen image up to 900x600px and save as JPG or PNG.
Create a folder "Splash Screen" in the "Lightroom" folder where all the Presets folders exist.
Turn on the "Splash Screen" option in the Preferences.

Appreciate the reply.

I'm using Adobe subsciption now so I have both LR's on my PC, but the one that I use is LR Classic (well I think its Classic as it is confusing!) its the one with the short haired lady with glasses on the splash screen *not* the one with the brown leaf on the splash screen.

Ok - if LR-Classic To be sure open Lightroom, go Menu > Help > System Info..., and the top line in the box will give you details.
And my post above will still be the answer. It is possible.

A screen-clip of my Splash Screen image in the Lightroom folder- C:\Users\Master\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Splash Screen

Bummer....I don't have a folder called splashscreen.

.I don't have a folder called splashscreen.

Open the {Lightroom} folder in File Explorer and create the 'New' folder within. Save the Splash image in this 'new' {Splash Screen} folder.
You can also find the path to the {Lightroom} folder by opening Lightrooms' Preferences, select the [Presets] tab, click on the button- [Show Lightroom Presets Folder...]
If you store your Presets "With the Catalog" then the Presets will be in a folder called {Lightroom Settings} that will be next to your Catalog .LRCAT file.

how can i do so for all users? i tried to do as you said, it works great, but it's only for the current user. I need something like user "public" to put in?

I have always been an 'Adminstator" single User, but I guess that each 'User' will simply need to create the Splash Screen folder with image as detailed in the link in Post#2 above. (Copy&Paste the Folder?)
