But getting real, I think no one will be able to pick a picture which is liked by everyone. So whatever you pick, someone will object. I am sure that the Mona Lisa, probably the most famous portrait in the world (assumption) is not liked by everyone.
In a world of blind people, you can pick whatever splash screen image and nobody will ever whine 
Sigi,
You are probably right, and that would be the best argument for no image at all.

It’s all down to individual taste but I’m glad someone else feels that about the splash image. Maybe for V8 DXO could have several potential splash images and poll beta testers on which image to use?
I would not like that at all - I want a picture
This topic started as a funny contest and now it turned into a big SPLASH (screen 
)
As I already suggested above:
So if someone feel the need to hide the splash screen just go create an official request on the forum so people can vote.
I will give you my vote because this is a simple thing to program and we should learn to support and accept different point of view.
Now let’s stop putting oil on the fire and let’s go back to the original idea of this topic. Thank you.
So much energy for this post …there is no more problems on on DXO software

Frankly, and I say this as a strict non-smoker, I’m perfectly fine with that image, as it’s an accomplished photograph and quite an eye-catcher. It even transports DxO’s emphasis on colour enhancement for this iteration of PL.
Something must be deeply wrong with me, and I may well be cancelled for daring to say this.

Except the splash image looks unchanged from the original and the original dates from 201, see the link in @Required’s post:
What a awesome feature request.
I’m sure I would get wonderfull, fast, and precise results with it.
Are you kidding, guys ???
Just wondering what you do with your raws to find this kind of request relevant …
Here’s the info on the PL7 splash image. Note the file name isn’t the name used in PL6.
After feeding the file to MediaInfo, I think the exhalation (sic) is photoshopped (using the generic term).
Now to build an image of the same size, and see what mischief is needed to use it.
Sigh… pl7-background isn’t the startup splash screen file.
I was able to cobble together a 1808 x 1020 JPEG in a hurry, replace the original pl7-background file with my file, and… nope - pl7-background is the background for “What’s New”, not the startup splash screen.
