How to adjust canvas size to image size

MPRamsey Apr 25, 2012 6:53 PM

OK...Elements is frustrating me and if anyone can help I would appriciate it. I have a pano that I asked Elements to create from 2 JPEGs. It did a wonderful job. After I cropped out the areas I didn't want, I now have an image that is smaller than the canvas. I now want to resize the canvas to the size of the image. Is there an easy way to do this? I know I can make fine canvas adjustments (height and width) over and over and over again until it matches the image but that takes so long and is so frustrating. Is there a button that simply resizes the canvas to the image?

Any help would be appriciated.

Wow! I thought my script would prove useful, I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

See this message for a script that will do what you're asking for:

WOW!!! Thank you Ken....this works perfectly!!!!!!! So why hasn't Adobe added this very simple script????
One note, I had some feathering on my crop of the image so my first attempt didn't trim it very close. I then re-cropped with no feathering....Whala!!!! A perfect trim.
Thank you again!!!

You're welcome, Mike. It's part of the "big" Photoshop, which has other options for choosing the pixels used for the trim. The very reasonably priced Elements+ add-in also includes the additional options:

This little thing of mine is just a quickie function.
