Trim Transparent Pixels

Question

I remember with old Phtoshops there was a "trim" option in the image menu. This was useful for getting rid of the transparent background once I was done messing around with this and that. My version does not seem to have this option, nor have I found any other way to simply trim the cavas down to the width/hieght of the image. I know I can crop it manually, but this is not as exact as the old trim button was.

Am I missing something?

Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 17.0 (20180830.m.125874) x64
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

There are several ways to "Trim Transparent Pixels" in photoshop elements including

Command or Ctrl clicking on the Layer Thumbnail in the layers panel to load a

selection around the layer contents and then going to Image>Crop and Select>Deselect.

selection of layer contents

Image>Crop and Select>Deselect

If you have more than one layer to include in the "Trim" then Command or Ctrl click on one

layer then Shift + Command or Ctrl click on each additional layer to include those layers

contents in the selection before going to Image>Crop.
