I do bring in the PSD for visual reference when I rebuild the comp, but
it's not much more useful than that. The PS layers import as document size
(i don't see any "import as layer size" option), which makes picking the
layers pretty much impossible, and the anchor point is never in the right
spot if i'm going to do any scaling or rotation. Also, sometimes I need to
break layers down into smaller object subsets and I can't do "convert
vector to shape layers" with PSD layers.
