If anyone has a GIMP file they want tested in Photoshop, or wants me to convert it from XCF to PSD, send it to me and I'll show you the GIF as it appears in Photoshop, and send you the PSD file. Limited time offer!

Okay, here's a 3 layer .xcf file - http://rs533.rapidshare.com/files/368584406/XCF.xcf
And here's the same image but as a .gif - http://rs484.rapidshare.com/files/368584690/GIF.gif

The GIF is animated and GIMP can't save PSD files as animations. But the badges won't be animated either so that's likely not a problem. Or can the badges be animated?

GIMP is free.....

If people use non-standard typefaces, then I expect they'll either need to make sure it's one that OP (or whoever) has installed, or they should provide a link to a free download (assuming that nobody's actually going to pay). Many fonts/typefaces come with restrictions on distribution (I'm not too sure whether PS embeds fonts within the PSD file)...
