In Photshop, if I copy a portion of an image with surrounding transparent pixels and paste it into a new canvas, it will have the outside transparent pixels removed, resulting in a tight canvas containing only the outer bounding box.

Can I do the same thing in Gimp?

    Wow, can't believe I didn't find that. And I did have a decent dig in the menus.

    It's not actually descriptively named, and it seems too good to be true :-) When was image manipulation ever that easy?

    If $deity had wanted image editing to be obvious and simple, they wouldn't have given us GIMP

  • I believe this is now: Image > Fit Canvas to Layers for Gimp 2.10.8.

As of GIMP 2.10.14 the menu would be Image > Zealous Crop
