Are you planning to use TRJTA's widescreen title/loading screens, as well as the widescreen patch that was linked in the OP?

To display the widescreen images, do the following:
1. First, extract the 'TR 2 - 5 Widescreen Fix.rar' file. Open 'TR III Widescreen Pix', find the 'pix' folder and copy its contents.
2. Navigate to your TR3 steam directory. Find the 'pix' folder and paste the new images into it (make backups of the older images if necessary).

For the actual game to display in widescreen, I don't recommend using the patch from Stella's, as it has mixed results in my experience. I recommend using this widescreen TR3 patch, which calculates the correct aspect ratio and field of view automatically (make a backup of the original tomb3.exe file if necessary).

I will do my best. Thank you guys for your help. This is the first time I’ve been playing the classics on pc so why not play at its best.

Question

Does anyone have a widescreen version of the Tomb Raider The Last Revelation logo? There is a Chronicles version available for download but not TLR.

Can do this yourself quite easily with *trcustomscreens* and photoshop!

Save logo as BMP or PNG. edit its aspect ratio in PS and then resave the logo PAK file via trcustomscreens

Sorry for the super late reply but where can I find this "trcustomscreens"? I tried googling for it but I can't find it. Also, I'm really not very good photo editing and things like that so if somebody happened to have a premade widescreen version of the TR4 logo, that would be amazing. Thank you.

Hmm, I cant seem to find a link either!

However I just found what seems to be an alternative, converting a BMP directly to the required PAK format, check the link here and the comment by Sapper

Thanks, I downloaded the program but I cant get it to work. I just immediately exits and doesn't produce anything. And anyway, I don't even know how to "convert" the logo into widescreen in the first place. I am using the PSX style logo that is available here.

Basically, you'd keep the complete image canvas size the same - but make the logo itself "thinner" within that canvas
