What do you mean by 'usability'? Because there is no such thing as user-friendliness, it just depends on the interface you are used to. If you spent 40 years of your life using command line, I'm sure you wouldn't find M$ Windows (R) so intuitive. The same applies if you've been using Photoshop

Well, if Photoshop won't open them, the GIMP certainly can. Then it's just cutting it apart like you would had you received any other flat file, I suppose! Of course, if you need backgrounds then a kindly worded email to the client requesting the source file with layers, etc., would probably be
