Hi Photoshop beta friends!
We have just added a new feature for the Move tool called "Hover layer bounds" to the Photoshop beta, and it is available to you now!
What does it do?
This new feature adds the ability to mouse over an object on your canvas and show an outline of that layer. Additionally the corresponding layer will be highlighted in the layers panel. It also has additional function with layers with masks that display both the shown and hidden pixel data.
Hover layer bounds also works in the reverse direction as you mouse over layers in the Layers panel.
Hover layer bounds is very customizable;
We would love for you to give hover layer bounds a try!
Please let us know what you think and how we could make improvements to this feature.
Thank you!
New behavior for Hover layer bounds is now available in the latest beta build! m.2568 and later
You can now navigate through the layers that share pixel coordinates by using the [ (next layer down) and ] (previous layer up) while the Move tool is over objects on the canvas. If Auto-select is enabled, you'll be able to click and interact with the layer who's boundaries are being displayed.

If I disable Extras/Layer edges under the View menu it is immediately re-enabled if I paste anything into Photoshop. This problem started in Photoshop 25.7, and is still a problem in 25.9. I'm using Windows 10. For now it is impossible to turn off layer edges.

@Kuttyjoe just tested with Photoshop version 25.9 on my system and cannot replicate the issue, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

I see the problem now. There is an option in the toolbar now to "show layer bounds from hover". I didn't realize those options were there. That option is enabled. The problem is that I'm going to the View menu and unchecking "Extras", which controls "Layer Edges". Layer Edges is not the same as "Layer bounds from hover" so, it should not control layer bounds from hover. But, it does, temporarily. So I uncheck "Extras" under the View menu. Layer bounds from hover disappear, which is what I want. But as soon as I paste something into the document, the layer bounds reappear when hovering. So eventually I found the toolbar option, "Layer bounds from hover". That is the option I needed. Once I unchecked that and layer bounds from hover is permanently disabled. But, why does the Extras in the View menu control this feature, momentarily? That is the problem.

Incredibly annoying. Having to google how to turn it off is also annoying. I'm sure it's useful but it should be disabled by default

I am trying to figure out where to turn off layer bounds on hover. I was able to turn it off by going to View, and turning of Extras, but every time I save, the layer bounds on hover feature comes back. Annoying.

This could be a wonderful addition IF the Show transform controls were moved back to the menu bar without needing to click on the gear menu. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MOVE IT BACK. Thanks, have a great day

PLEASE tell me how to turn OFF hover layer bounds! It is an unwelcome interference and gets in the way of viewing the image. There doesn't appear to be any OFF switch and I was not able to change the line color to no color. Seeing these rectangles all over the image every time I move the mouse is a nuisance. I wasn't aware that I had a Photoshop beta, but if so, I never volunteered for beta testing. Regardless please help me get rid of this feature. Thannks, John
