Question What programs can I use to edit .PSD files?

What programs can I use to edit .PSD files, other than Photoshop?

TIA,
WhiteEagle

Paint Shop Pro, Photopaint and PhotoImpact can also open/edit PSD files, to a limited extent.

I haven't really ever needed these programs (I own a copy of Photoshop, and don't bother with cheap imitations)

I don't think you can truly edit a complex PSD file without Photoshop, adjustment layers, curves, Layer styles, etc will either screw up the image when imported into another program or it will just merge the effects and give you separated layers.

I would suggest saving up the money and buying PS, (if you're a student, you can get 1/2 - 2/3 % off the retail price with Educational pricing)
About $275 for Edu. version.

GIMP will open most .psd files. There may be font issues. You can also get a free CS2/3 trial. Use it to open the file, then convert it to something else.

Last time I checked, Macromedia.... erm, I mean Adobe FireWorks opened PSDs but that was a few years ago so I may be wrong.

You need to either use the link button, or just copy the url directly.
