VT... hold off on the layout of cash.

That's odd, SB, because I use Photoshop files from a friend who does 
his Photoshop work on a PC.  We both routinely import those files into 
FCP... with layers intact and no problems.

I would think FCE would do the same.

My understanding is that a PSD file is a PSD file, with the possible 
exception of a resource fork on a Mac.  Why do you believe that the PC 
or the file it produces is the problem?
