Hover layer bounds is now in Photoshop beta!

[Pete.Green]

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;

• You can customize the color, thickness, and the Layers panel highlight color in Preferences > Guides, Grid & Slices
  
• and customize the behavior in the new Move tool gear menu in the Options bar.

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!

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.
