IM plus GIMP (or: layered PSDs)

Hi all,

I recently attempted to open a PSD file with GIMP and several other gui programs with no luck. Then I converted it to PNG with ImageMagick, which produced two files (haven't opened it in PS yet - I assume the two files correspond to layers).

My question - is there a IM import/convert plugin for GIMP? Initial googling suggests not...

Seems like it would be useful as a last-ditch tool to open a "stubborn" image.

Thanks, Chris

well my GIMP opens the psd files fairly well (i'm using developpement version 3.9.11 but it worked also on 3.9.9). The problem is that PS supports more layer types (such as modifier or curve layers) and those are replaced by blank layers in GIMP.
