As a linux user, there are a plenty software that can render it perfectly but cannot edit, and i really don't get it. As a web developer i have to use photopea to be able to extract assets from psd files. It's really strange that a web application can edit psd and a lot of powerful softwares like gimp and Krita have the exact problem with layers and masks with modern .psd files, so my guess its bcause photopea IT'S designed to be compatible with psd files. I suspect it's incompatible by design with others softwares and not because it's has a poor specification.
