[Gimp-user] PSD or XCF?

[Tom Purl]

I've recently started manipulating layers with Gimp 2.4, (on Windows)
and it order to be more standards-compliant, I have been saving my
images as PSD files . In general, this has worked pretty well for me,
except that the Gimp crashes a couple of times an hour.  The
operations that cause the Gimp to crash are pretty simple, and usually
cannot be reproduced.

Is this flakiness the result of using the Gimp on Windows or the
result of using PSD files instead of XCF files?

Thanks in advance!
