There are many ways to overcome this:

1) Have you tried to save it in an older version of photoshop file (if
possible) with something like "file->save as" (I do not know
photoshop...)?

2) Why not save it in a layered format like tiff?

3) At least you can always copy & past layer by layer into GIMP. Tricky but
it should work...

IMHO best solution is 2).
