Question

Deleting transparent pixels from each layer independently

I split image into 2 parts, put each part on its own layer and delete the background layer(which contains the whole image). Now I want to save both of these image slices in PSD but without transparent pixels.

 

Can anyone guide what should I do to remove those transparent pixels from each slice and do export-?layers to files?

 

I have tried following but none of these works
When I trimmed one layer, both layers get affected.
When I trim each layer independently (after converting them in smart object) and export-> layers to files, I am still getting those transparent pixels.

 

I want to run this action in the batch process, please advise accordingly.

In your document you have 2 layers.

Can you make 2 images that show how you want both image slices to end up in the psd in the end?

 

With that you will get much better advice.

the sliced images after saving in PSD would look like the ones attached photos. i want to create an action that can be batch processed, (save both parts in one go)

You can't delete transparent pixels, as there is litterally nothing there to delete.  That's what transparent means.

Image > Trim...

Oops, you already tried that and wonder if there is something better...
