A layer is a layer in PS. You cant make layers that are smaller or bigger than the canvas. PS layers are always of infinite size so to speak, but visually still clipped to the canvas area.
When i draw lines or small dots in PS, they are just as hard to see in the layers preview, as in Gimp.
I remember that layers behave differently in PS, being "infinite" or without a layer boundary, which was awfully convenient, but I'm sure I remember having layer previews that were cropped to the visible pixels of a layer. Although, it's been years since I've used Photoshop. It may have been different in an earlier version, or maybe I'm remembering it wrong.
Regardless, since Gimp actually has layer boundaries, it would be awesome if there was an option to change the layer preview to the boundary size rather than the canvas size.
