    There are some free converters around, I came across one here but I couldn't say if its any good since I haven't tried it. I think the file format is defined in adobes sdk which you can download if you sign up as a developer on their site.

    The codeproject seems to have some tuts and sample code that might be worth looking at, ones in c++ and the other c#.

    Just a personal question: Why would you want to import .psd files anyways?

    I've wanted to do this myself :-)

    You can then add the original artwork files to the project and let the content pipeline worry about converting them into a hardware friendly format. This saves the artists the effort of having to export to PNG or something everytime they work on a texture.

    ppontheweb, I'd be very interested in hearing how it went for you. Did you manage to integrate the PSD format into the XNA content pipeline and spritebatch.draw()?

    I made a really simple ContentImporter for .psd when Shawn Hargreaves made a blog post about it.  It's really really basic since all it does is smush all of the layers together using a simple alpha-blend, but if you needed something more fancy it would give you a good starting point.
