Would you like to change Smith Micro’s choice of splash screen image for Poser Pro 2012? I’m certainly quickly getting tired of that dreadful creepy stare, every time I load Poser.

Here’s how to change it:

1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to where you installed Poser. For me this is…   C:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser Pro 2012\Runtime\ui

2. Here locate the file: 30000_credits_splash.psd   This is a Photoshop file. Make a copy, and save it somewhere safe in case you make a mistake.

3. Open the original 30000_credits_splash.psd with Photoshop. In Photoshop, make sure you have the layers palette open (Press F7, or go View | Layers). Now select the layer named “30510″.

4. The “30510″ layer is the one you now need to edit. Simply paste another image on top (791px by 445px is the crop size you want, to fit the area not including the bottom red banner). Personally I rather like this alternative version from Irdya in Japan…

5. Open this replacement with Photoshop. Now select the layer “30510″ and make sure it is the only layer with the little Eye icon visible. Now paste in the new Splash. Align it exactly over the old one. Now Shift-select so that both layers are selected thus…

Now right-click and select “Merge Layers”. Rename the merged layer as “30510″ (without the quote marks). Don’t mess with any of the other layers.

6. Save the file, and exit Photoshop.

You now have a new splash screen when launching Poser Pro 2012! Enjoy!
