> The Layer Boundary Size lets you set the the boundary of the
layer. Remember you can have a smaller or larger layer than the
image boundary size. When you enlarge the boundary size, then
you will add some space to paint on to your layer. Naturally it
will be vice versa when you make the boundary size smaller.

> The "Size" area will control how big or small your new layer
boundary will be just as when you created a <A

"Offset" area will control how your layer is clipped or
expanded.

> The "Offset" fields will control where your upper left corner
of the old layer will be in the "new" layer. The best way to
control the new location and how and where the layer will be
clipped is to drag the "layer preview" in the "Offset" area to
the right position. Make the final adjustment with the spin
buttons (or type it in by hand) if needs to be
pixel-exact. The thin outline is the new layer size and you
have to drag the old layer to the right position so it will be
clipped according to your demands.

> If you uncheck the chain in the "Size" area, you will be able to
have different ratios when you make the "new" layer . It's
therefore possible e.g. to have a layer which is smaller in X
direction and larger in Y direction than before you altered the
layer boundary size.
