Ha, yes, 500 layers with bits of shadows and other shit and 40% redundant layers. I stopped opening psd files from designers. I instead just ask for composite png files and what font and a set of images and vectors used in there original sizes. I figure out that the majority of their fancy photoshop grads and shadows and boxes and shit can be done in css. I can work a proper grid with my own measurements and percentages. Properly optimise graphics etc. Sad fact is that many designers are coming from print and have little understanding of web/responsive considerations.

@heyheni I strongly believe that would make it even worse. This is a full sea change that is needed / not another middle-man tool like invision. What a huge waste of time. This is something that needs to change in your brain.
Just give me a link to the web font man. Oh, there isn't one? You used a font that we can't legally use? Do you understand how that works? I don't want your 300MB photoshop document. I don't want to comb through your ridiculous stack of insane layers and artboards and deal with the images you didn't bundle into the project or try and make sense out of your arbitrary spacing and random font sizes. You're not an artist, you're just a crappy visual designer handing off an unthoughtful glorified wire-frame - and now I have to sort out all the things that you were paid to do. It's really easy. 1. Pick a color, 2. Pick 2 fonts that are legal and available to use on the web, 3. build a few patterns for font sizes and weights - write them down. 4. Pick your images. Make them double the size you expect them to be on the site + put them in a folder, 5. add readme and list the font patterns and the link to the webfont, 6. quickly scribble the wire-frame out, 7. take a photo of it, 8. put it all in a folder and send it to me.
