Open A New Document With A Layer In Photoshop?

Question

I have technically designed a website in Adobe Photoshop and would like to be able to make new documents in Photoshop using the layers. I do know that you can copy and paste images from the web, screenshots etc, and the document will open up with those dimensions. Which makes dragging and dropping and or copy-and-pasting easier. I just want to be able to have the exact dimensions of the images. Anybody know how to open a new document using a layer?

Thank you, Aaron

To make a new document from a layer, just:

1. Right-Click on the Layer.
2. Select "Duplicate Layer..."
3. In the Destination > Document select "New".

If you have the original canvas size and you want just the image size, just:

1. Go to IMAGE (on the top menu)
2. And then "TRIM"
3. Click "Based on Transparent Pixels" and make sure all sides of are ticked.
4. Click OK.
