How to find layer dimensions in Gimp

6

In Gimp, what is the easiest (fewest clicks/keyboard shortcut/setting change) way to find the dimensions of a given layer in a PSD file?

Is

"Layers window"→<right click>→"Scale layer"

the only way?

Could the "Move tool" provide this info, or is there a setting that enables the display of this information by default?

Does Layer->Layer boundary size do what you want? – None – 2014-07-30T14:46:19.513

Scale layer is the only way I am aware of. Which operating system are you using? – iglvzx – 2012-04-25T23:05:06.440

I'm currently on ubuntu 11.10, but also use gimp in Win7 – Evan – 2012-04-25T23:10:28.977

Is there a reason for using .psd with Gimp? – clabacchio – 2012-04-26T08:41:24.210

Yes. PSD is the file format that I am receiving images in. I don't have control over the format. However, I am guessing that PSD vs XCF makes little difference in regard to identifying layer dimensions at a glance; I could be wrong though. – Evan – 2012-04-26T15:43:00.793

1Good question! Something like the Photoshop info panel would be helpful (although I find even that to be unintuitive sometimes). – Jason – 2013-02-15T16:21:31.333

4I use Layer > Layer Boundary Size. – maan81 – 2013-02-22T06:46:35.757

this plugin may be useful, it states that it shows a floating window with the active layer's dimensions: http://registry.gimp.org/node/26317
