I want to delete all transparent pixels, how can I? CS6

I would like to delete all transparent pixels surrounding my irregularly (non-square) image.  The TRIM function only trims to a square surrounding my image and not to the edge of the image itself.  Is there a work around for this?  I have looked around and haven't found one. 
Thanks,
JB

Image have rectangular area they have a width and height boundaries as do layer.  Not all of the rectangular area need to have content or be fully opaque,  However the image boundary is a rectangle.  Some file formats are like a Photoshop Background layer do not support empty area or even transparency so those file formats only contain image that are rectangles and have no transparency. Some file formats support transparency and empty areas so those images can be any shape and contain transparency still the image boundary is rectangular. Then there is the GIF file format an oddball format. It only supports 256 Colors. Pixels are mapped to one of the 256 colors selected for the image.  If you want Transparency in a gif  the number of colors is reduced by 1 to 255  the 256 color now indicate no content its not real transparency it just a no color pixel in other words off or no content.
So if you have areas that are 100% transparent there is nothing to delete the area is empty.  If you have pixels that contain some transparency and you delete those pixels you delete details are you sure you want to delete all pixels that contain transparency? You will loose things like drop shadows

    Import the music on the external HD into iTunes.  If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences.  Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.

  • Why when i want to sync my phone with the computer it wants to delete all my apps how do i not let this happen. this is a different computer to the 1 i always use. i have authorised this computer but still wants to delete my apps

    Why you can't redownload? Don't you have the Apple ID that used to download these apps?
    You can "transfer purchaces" by right click on your iphone in iTunes but i guess you computer is not authorized and will ask you to authorize with Apple ID. Try it.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

    Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.

    You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.  Just sync them back ot the iphone from your computer.

  • My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

    My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

    It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
    If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
    Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

    Get AppZapper, a free program that removes apps.  Make sure everything has been removed by checking with Spotlight once the app has been zapped.

    OS X: What is "other" space in About This Mac? - Apple Support
    Experts here recommend Omnidisksweeper for identifying hidden files. I haven't tried it personally but try a search through the forum for more feedback on this product.
    Be very careful with what application you choose regardless as many are worse than unreliable causing damage to the operating system itself. If you purchase a third party application for this venture make sure you buy it direct from the developer's website. Also make sure you have a working backup and you fully understand what it is you're deleting so you don't brick your Mac!
    best of luck!

    Do not let your anti-virus s/w scan your Thunderbird profile folder. This would be asking for trouble, as you're finding out the hard way.
    To locate your profile folder:<br>
    AppMenu button - Help - Troubleshooting Information - Profile Directory - Open Directory
    If your anti-virus s/w did already make changes to your mail file(s), it's very likely something gets corrupted resulting in lost messages. So make sure you do have a backup of your profile.

    should I do a full reset of TM (per the instructions at the link below) prior to setting up the TC?
    I'd start by just selecting the new destination. Do the "full reset" if you have trouble with that.
    do I need to set up the network portion first and then turn on TM?
    That might make things easier.
    even though my mini was previously only connected wirelessly to the old router, I plan to connect via Ethernet to the TC (for one thing, to make the initial backup run faster). Do I just turn AirPort settings off on the mini, or does that need to be on in order to setup the TC?
    To assure that your first backup is over Ethernet I'd turn off AirPort until it's done. Check the order in the Network panel of System Preferences. I'd move the Ethernet connection item to the top of the list.
    In other words, does the initial setup of the TC from my mini happen wirelessly or over Ethernet?
    Either way should work fine.
    I currently have a networked printer conneceted to my old router, which I will connect via Ethernet to the TC. Can I assume that, once I have set up all of my family's PCs/Macs/iDevices on the newly-established TC network, that I will have to re-establish connection to the printer as well?
    Not necessarily. I'd only do that if the printer isn't available after the switchover.
    I would like to reformat the second external drive (the one previously being used for TM backups) for possible reuse with another computer. Can I simply reconnect this to my mini and reformat?
    That's what I'd do.
    is TM going to see it and try to back it up?
    If you've already reconfigured Time Machine to use the Time Capsule drive, there shouldn't be a problem.
