Hi all,

I'm an new affinity photo user but I know Photoshop well.

Here is what I want to do. Let's say picture with a mouse on a desk. I just want the mouse without backgroud.

I have already removed the background and now I want my image to have the minimum dimension. I can of course use the "crop" tool but it's manual. Is there a way to make a "crop" based on the current selection (to remove the maximum of the alpha layer)?

I hope my explanations are clear. Thank you in advance.

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

If you select a single pixel layer that you want to crop to its minimum dimensions, one quick way to do this is to CMD-click (Mac) on its thumbnail in the Layers panel. That automatically creates a 'marching ants' selection of its pixels. Use Edit > Copy or the keyboard shortcut to put that on the clipboard & then use File > New from Clipboard to create a new, minimum sized document.

I don't know what the Windows equivalent to CMD-click for this is, but I am sure one of the Windows users will post that.
