I'm sure I can do it, it'll just take a little longer for pixel edits

normally, a colored coldboot will have a white background. all u need to do is create the alpha over the image ur using. the white background won't appear unless u create an alpha of the background as well.

As normal I alpha-ed the image, erased the background saved it as a PNG but when then image is used background showed up again :confused:

that's odd. did u make the background transparent? white is read as transparent for colored coldboots while black is read as transparent for white coldboots. it needs to be saved as a DDS as well unless using the colored coldboot app will convert it. also, the background should still be present. as long as the alpha is white with a black background - that's all u need to create a colored coldboot normally. I don't have any experience with the coldboot apps.

White background in which I made transparent but when he used it in Tizzy's app background showed up white again
 
the dds files usually come with white backgrounds. white is and isn't transparent. it's what color the backgrounds r, but white (the alpha) is like punching a hole through the background. those (the alphas) do come with a black background which is like a white coldboot in that it's transparent. u might try creating the colored coldboot another way?

if you mean a normal coldboot, it needs to be 700x350 or 240x120 iirc. the background is generally black with the logo being white (opaque) or grey (semi-transparent). there are six images in total (3 HD, 3 SD). they're header, footer, and heater blur for each. that is if you're injecting them.

Thanks for the answer. I can not do it alone. Is the picture great for coldboot? If you want I can try to lower her resolution. I only managed to remove the background in Photoshop, I can not animate it as in the original ps3. :(

my skills in photoshop are lacking, so I often have trouble with it. I think the original coldboot may be closer to a colored, theme one. there's a raf creator for that. you just need the image, and it will do everything for you. generally, that coldboot only displays what's in the alpha, so you can shrink the image.

btw, I made a coldboot of this along with sound in the coldboot.raf injector in the han forums. it's a fade in coldboot though, which might not be what you're looking for.

I thought the original coldboot was black and white from what I remember in 2009 and from the original startup videos. I saw a topic of yours explaining how to create an animated coldboot but I do not understand much. maybe I'll try. Yes, I think it was you who made a coldboot excited years ago, I even got it on my PS3, but I thought it might get even more original as in 2009 Anyway, thanks for the help! Maybe some user knows how to do it for me. thx pinky for attention.

It actually does fade in/out.
That is if you're talking about the SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT coldboot.

Also if you could help, I've tried making an coldboot to fade in/out from h4xor's video.
I've taken all the dds files coverted them dragged them into hex, & added the values to custom coldboot
But got stuck at the sd footer, it says block not found. I've thought it was okay tried testing it, but the ps3 Didn't display my coldboot...
(Note: I am using paint.net with dds plugin as Photoshop plugins won't work on mine.)
 
if you mean the one I did, it should do that. when I saw the original coldboot for the first time, it looked like a colored coldlboot which,appears and disappears abruptly.

the footer is: .78750 to EF44F . you mean the coldboot only showed the original ps3 one?

edit: make sure you're not using the backgrounds when looking in hex. that error \might show up if the hex doesn't exost.

No I've replaced every line with hex except the sd footer and some other one, coldboot doesn't even show up it's just a blank screen followed by epilepsy.
 
Try to conver to DDS with the "nvidia legacy texture tools" in command line, this always works (if you know the correct settings used in the original image) :)
Code: 
nvdxt.exe -file input.png -L8 -output output.dds

Btw, the images of the original coldboot should be considered white

All original colboot images are composed of black/red colors only. Red colors are treated as luminance levels (works like a "light mask") and black colors are transparent

The color you see on screen is caused because there is a "pointlight" (with id="pointlight" type="point") that emits a colored light
Also this lightpoint has an animation that changes his position along time from left ---> to right

Take a look at the javascript code in the wiki page, are this functions:
light.setPosition
light.setColor
light.setAttenuation
