Clipping Mask layers are imported incorrectly from psd files

Thank you for the advice, though.

Gimp doesn't have clipping masks.  There are ways to get the same result, but not so simple as in PS. Basically, if you have two layers, on the top layer create a mask filled with black, then on the bottom layer go Layer->Transparency->Alpha to selection. Then go back to the top layer and fill that selection on the mask with white.

This is not a clipping mask, but a mask of the opaque pixels of the lower layer.
