Importing psd files

I noticed that VV3 could open psd files created in Photoshp but when opened the file is set on one track like a flattened picture. Is it possiable to open a psd file with each layer set on a different track.

sorry, no separate psd layers (other than alpha channel).

'course afterFX will do that... but psd is not a standard and as far as i can tell, it's a painful file to try to decode esp. with all the weird stuff that could be in there like adjustment layers... yuk! it's tough enough to get a decent flattened image out of it. Acdsee, 3dsmax, Paint shop pro... all have trouble with PSD files. PNG seems to work well in all my programs so i'm sticking with that for now. TGA used to be my standard, but i'm having better results with PNG esp when dealing with alpha transparency.
