Not sure if this exists? But it would be very handy for my work to have a function/tool that allows you to crop any negative space, down to the boundaries of the artwork itself, even better would be this, but also able to set a boundary by pixel of negative space all around the image.

First image is a rough example of something I would start with, 2nd image would be after clicking one button - the crop boundaries go to the edges of the artwork. The 3rd example is the same but have set a pixel boundary of negative space to 2 px.

With @JJMack suggestion, you can create an action add to Select > Modify > Expand by 2px to do it in one shot. Or Conversely, with @PECourtejoie suggestion, you could create an action to expand the canvas by a couple of pixels.

You can also just select the artwork then with the selection active use menu Image>Crop. That will crop the document to the selections bounds. Or use Ctrl+J new layer via copy to have the artwork in its own layer or Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V the remove the artwork and paste in a new layer with only the artwork in it.
