importing multiple layers from PS

Is there a simple way to import all the layers from one photoshop file as individual layers? I know AE lets you import each seperate layer but can i tell it to just import ALL the layers as individual layers in a few clicks as opposed to importing each layer individually?

When importing your files, open your Photoshop file into After Effects as a composition. Then, in your project window, twirl down your folder and all of your photoshop layers should be laid out as separate and masked layers. Furthermore, you will be given a composition that shows what all of the layers put together would look like.

When the import file dialouge box comes up change the pulldown from 'footage' to 'composition'. You can then specify the footage dimensions to be the size of the layer or the document.
