Feature: PSD Layer effect

[Oliver Neumann [New Identity AG]-2]

Hi there,

does GIMP support (native or via addon) layer effects that were added
via Photoshop CS3 or CS4 within a psd file?

Tried this with the latest stable version of GIMP, all effects on layers
are gone when opening a CS3 or CS4 PSD file that was build via
Photoshop.

Sincerely,
Oliver Neumann

No, Gimp has no Layer effects.

Hi Tobias,

thanks for the quick answer.

Is this something that is on some agenda and if so, do you know when this feature will be implemented?

PSD support is somehow useless without layer effects as this is something, that is a commonly used feature in photoshop (at least within designers I know ;)).

Regards,
Oliver Neumann

Yes, something like layer effects is planed for Gimp. But even if
there are layer effects in Gimp it is hard to say if we will see it in
the PSD import, because Adobe provides no documentation about the file
format.

Thought that the SDK had the format specs?

I think the license is problematic.
