Photoshop: Is there any analog of the GIMP’s Rect Select Tool “AUTO SHRINK” feature?

by

GIMP has a very useful feature for the Rect Select Tool: “Auto Shrink”.
It shrinks the rectangular selection to the rectangle of a smallest size which still contains all NON-TRANSPARENT PIXELS of the original selection. Please see the example below.

Is there any way to do this in Photoshop?
I know there is a way in Photoshop to crop the whole image to a smallest size, but I don’t want to change the image size. I just want to shrink the selection.

Answer

  • Draw a selection around the object.
  • Go to Selection > Transform Selection.
  • Drag all four sides to the edge of the object until they snap.
  • You now have the smallest rectangular selection of the object.
