PSD or PS are the native formats of Photoshop. This is the industry standard, like PK is the standard for zip compression, Adobe is the standard for .pdf documentation, and x86 is the standard architecture of computer hardware. You can open and edit these images in almost any graphics editor, but you can't save it as the same unless you are editing in Photoshop.

Yep as noted above Gimp would be next choice if not using Photoshop, Fireworks is great too but I've never used it much on psd's so not sure.

GIMP can open and save PSD files, but they always have issues with text layers, usually being unable to edit them, sometimes seeing it as a bitmapped layer instead.

Hate to burst your bubble but your wrong. I edit and create PSD files with the GIMP and save them as PSD files.

You can open them in Paint Shop Pro, i think.

Edit
Yeah, you can. I just tried it out. ^_^ Just that some of the features are unsupported.

I think Fireworks is an art program that does flash and other cool special effects. It's kind of like Photoshop isn't it?

I know you can also use ImageReady to open and manipulate Photoshop files and you can still save them as .psd files too.
