Image>Image Size.
A layer has the same dimensions as the image canvas. If you need to know the size of a specific element within an image, use the Measure Tool.
Not sure if this is what you want, but…
Depends on what you mean by Layer Size.
There can be many more pixels beyond the bounds of a layer. This is called "big data". Try duplicating the file and going to Image>Reveal All. This will show you all the pixels and tehn you can determinge the size from there.
But beware, if you do any work on the resulting image you can’t go back to the original dimensions the way it was easily, which is why I suggest duplicating the file.
hello chrisbirchall,
thank you for your suggestion . sorry to say your answer is not a good one . you are taking about document size . but problems is size of particular layer . suppose you have 20 to 25 layer in document . i want to know size (dimension example. 5”x6”) of layer no. 5 . where i can find this .
dear chrisbirchal , want a quick and easy method to know about layer size . measure tool is very boring , and how one can find a layer size dimension from measure tool .

Pradeep,
If not using ‘big data’ then every layer is the same size, regardless of content – and the same as the image size.
I think you need to be a bit clearer about exactly what dimensions you are trying to measure
sorry to say your answer is not a good one
It was a darn sight better than the question!
measure tool is very boring
Huh!? I find making breakfast very boring. But if I don’t make it, I don’t eat!

Well you could try measuring with it.
Besides, I suggested the use of the measuring tool as a way of measuring elements within a layer.
Prior to that I give you the answer in that a layer is the same size as the canvas (unless "big data" is used).
Two other people have also answered your question since.
As well as being clearer in the way you ask your questions, you will only derive benefit in these forums if you actually read the answers all these kind people are giving you.
Guys. Give the gentleman a break. It seems apparent to me that English is not his first language, and he is struggling to express himself in it. The "your answer is not a good one" is not a criticism, but his way of expressing that he was not able to get the information he wanted.
Similarly, criticizing his questioning skills as insufficient is also a bit much. I doubt I could express questions as well in Hindi as he has in English.
I have no problems slagging a guy who asks dumb questions through laziness or inarticulate use of the language … unless it is a second language.

Is what you are looking for the dimensions of the "content" of each layer? What do you need: just the x and y dimensions, or also the bounding box that contains that information?
I’m not sure if Photoshop provides this information, but if this is what you are looking for, others might be able to give a suggestion.
Possible workaround: If you ctrl-click on the layer (to turn it into a selection) the info box will then give you the width and height of the selection (and thus the layer
