* PSD import — PhotoEditRocket opens PSD files three ways: rasterized (the closest visual match to the original), editable layers, or a flattened image. Your file comes in very close to the original and keeps layers, masks and text where possible. It is not a 100% match of every Photoshop-only feature.
