Are there any other tools than Adobe Photoshop available that allow to edit PSD files that contain smart objects? (I checked GIMP but it doesn't support smart objects)

At the moment I don't believe there are any, but Affinity has it on their list of features to implement. They're both (Affinity Designer [AI Replacement] and Affinity Photo [PS Replacement]) under development and the creators have been doing an excellent job adding new features and fixing bugs regularly.

This is the most recent thread on Smart Objects I'm aware of: Photoshop Linked Smart Objects on Affinity

I've tried the software but not with Smart Objects to say how well it currently works or not.

I found a online editor which supports PS smart objects as a free alternative to Affinity: https://www.photopea.com/

    Ok sorry, I thought it could help as I was looking for an alternative the whole day and finally found this. I am not affiliated in any way with this site. Apr 22, 2018 at 20:55
  • Holy macaroni! I had pretty low expectations as I clicked that link, but the support for PS smart objects is phenomenal! Better than Affinity Photo 2 and Adobe's own Photoshop Elements. (This should certainly be the accepted answer, although it looks like the OP has long since departed.)
