I curious as to who is using GIMP for serious work. I have tried it numerous time in the past but always end up going back to PS. As of late I been making a switch to Affinity Photo but have always been pulling for GIMP.

I have always advocated for Gimp but people esp designers want to stick to photoshop. Hope they understand the power of this open source
Can GIMP load psd files correctly? I seem to remember that there was some trouble loading psd files, but I don't remember exactly what.

Without it working in areas near the edges is very stressful and painful.

The notes OP linked to indicate that there are more fixes included in this version. It is likely what importing a .doc in open office was 10 years ago. It proably works 99% of the time but that 1% will be right before an important deadline or something.
