I work in a production studio that employs several digital artists who
work on Photoshop 7.0 and CS (both for Mac and Windows). I'm just a
tech, so I run SuSE 9.0 on my desktop and have GIMP 1.3 loaded up.
With GIMP I am able to open up any .PSD file created by our artists
and I am able to see and manipulate the individual layers. I am not a
digital artist so I do not know the full potential (or limitations) of
GIMP, but with reference to the above thread I can attest that it
works great.
