How to edit text in both Gimp & Photoshop

Hey guys I am looking at making graphics for graphic river and they only accept .psd files.
So is there a way to to make a .psd file in gimp and be able to edit the text layers in photoshop.

And help would be appreciated.

How to edit text in both Gimp & Photoshop

Thanks for the reply but.....I have tried that and it did not work. I worked in the sense that when I saved my image as a .psd I could open it and edit it including the text layers in gimp but when I send it to a friend to open it in photoshop the text layers become just layers and cannot be edited. For me to make the graphic in gimp and sell it on Graphic river the person buying the graphic needs to be able to edit the text in photoshop. So I do not know if there is another way that I can save the text layers as a .psd in gimp and still be able to edit them in photoshop.

Thanks again

You can't currently do that. GIMP now provides the API that the PSD plug-in would need to implement this. So we would be very happy if someone picked up work on the PSD plug-in and implemented support for saving GIMP text layers as PS text layers and for loading text layers from PSD files so that they become editable text layers in GIMP.

If someone's interested to work on this, please speak up on the gimp-developer mailing-list.
