How to Deselect Yellow in GIMP

What is Yellow Color Dotted Line in GIMP

In GIMP, the yellow layer border is a visual indicator of the active layer in the Layers panel. When you click on a layer in the Layers panel, a yellow border appears around the layer to indicate that it is the active layer. The active layer is the layer that you are currently working on and making changes to.

The yellow layer border is particularly useful when working with complex images that contain multiple layers. By indicating which layer is active, it helps you avoid making changes to the wrong layer and saves time by allowing you to quickly identify which layer you are working on.

Please note that the yellow border does not have any impact on the final image. It’s purely a visual indicator in the GIMP interface and does not affect the appearance of the image when it is saved or exported.
