Hey Gimp dev's (by the way, how many gimp dev's are there?)

it often annoys me that people value a program based on its support for a foreign format. PS Dev's dont waist time supporting other apps so why should we? (I know, cos Gimp isnt the standard.... :/ )

As said afore, Im realy happy with the gimps direction, and have enjoyed using since 1999, and even use for commercial 3d projects now.

Supporting stuff like layer effects is okay, but Im guessing its not a small task...

BTW- One feature Id be interested in seeing is layers with linked bitmap data, so you could move thenm about but theyd share pixel info. have been in a number of situations whis would be nifty, also cut down filesize.

Right! That's what my post about: Gimp needs a much better support for
the PSD-Format. As i wrote it is the same thing that the users of
OpenOffice.org grows up after they have a much better support for M$
Word Doc-format.
Like M$ Word for text the Adobe Photoshop is a standard app for creating
graphics (nearly 80% of all creatives use it). Gimp is a great
application too but working together with others a much improved PSD
support is needed:

- Gimp did not recognized which layers of the PSD visible or not and
    show allways all layers
- if possible it would be cool if Layer-Effects could be converted to
    Layers
- Text should be editable Text and  not just pixels
- May if Gimp supports one time herachies of layers it woulb be nice if
    Gimp could support them too

Up to now, there were none and using XCF in third-party apps has been
discouraged because of this - the format might change without notice.
AFAIK this hasn't changed yet.

Ok, I understand. So, Gimp really needs a good import/export PSD format filter.
