Everything I have the layer selected and try to "select all"...it frames it, but it also includes the canvas as well. Fuzzy select won't work, since I want the entire image there's no negative space.
The target of operations is the intersection of the selection and the active layer. Nothing happens outisde of the active layer, so there is no problem with having a selection larger than the layer.
Noet also that in most case, no selection at all or a full selection have the same results, the only case where they differ is when you apply transform tools. Without selection the transform tool is applied on the layer, and with a selection it is applied to a "floating selection".
