How do I turn a smart object into GIMP?
1 Answer. GIMP does not (yet) support smart objects like in Photoshop (there’s an open feature request about it), so the only way they could be imported would be by converting them into something else that GIMP does handle (most likely, a simple “dumb” layer, or a set of layers).
