.psd image has 8 layers, GIMP sees only 2

I have a .psd image, which is a sort of template where the user can choose to uncover one or the other color at his preference and then export the non-template to .jpg or something. The image has 8 layers visible in Photoshop -- named grey, orange, violet, green, red, blue, Layer 1 copy 2 and Layer 0 -- but GIMP shows only the last 2 -- Layer 1 copy 2 and Layer 0.

The image is this http://www.secarica.ro/temp/layered.psd

Is there a chance to open the image with GIMP and see all the layers ?

There are many ways to overcome this:

1) Have you tried to save it in an older version of photoshop file (if possible) with something like "file->save as" (I do not know photoshop...)?

2) Why not save it in a layered format like tiff?

3) At least you can always copy & past layer by layer into GIMP. Tricky but it should work...

IMHO best solution is 2).

Not possible without PS.
The image is not 8 layers. It is 2 layers + 6 fill layers (similar to adjustment layers)

Even with PS it is not easy. The fill layers in that image will not rastorize. You have to introduce a regular layer and merge down for each of the fill layers.
