7.55. Crop Layers to Content

The Crop Layers to content command automatically crops the selected layers, unlike the Crop Tool, or the Resize Layers to Selection command, which let you manually define the area to be cropped.

Questo comando rimuove l'area più ampia possibile attorno ai bordi esterni composta dallo stesso colore. Esso compie quest'operazione scansionando il livello lungo una linea orizzontale e una verticale e ritagliando il livello fino a quando non si incontra un colore differente, indipendentemente dalla sua trasparenza.

You can use this command to crop a layer to the dimensions of a subject that is lost in a solid background which is too large.
