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)

2Hello and wellcome to GD.SE. To answer your question. Similar features yes but do it for PSD files havent heard of any. – joojaa Apr 20 '15 at 19:55
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. – Michael Kleimann Apr 22 '18 at 20:55
