### 7.56. Resize Layers to Selection

The Resize Layers to Selection command resizes the selected layers to the boundary of the selection by removing any strips at the edge whose contents are all completely unselected. Areas which are partially selected (for example, by feathering) are not resized.

If there is no selection, this menu entry is disabled.
