### 5.21. Show Layer Boundary

The Show Layer Boundary command enables and disables displaying the yellow dotted line that surrounds a layer in the image window. The dotted line is actually only visible when the layer is smaller than the image window. When the layer is the same size as the image window, the layer boundary is obscured by the image border.

You can set the default for the layer boundary in the Image Window Appearance Preferences.

#### 5.21.1. Activating the Command
