: How can I erase content outside the canvas in Photoshop? It isn't a big problem but if there is any way to do it than it would be great. I want to erase the image but its remaining part

@Hamaas979

Right click on the layer that is larger then our canvas, then select "rasterize".
After that do a select all to select your whole canvas then "image > Crop".
Now if you try to "transform" that layer it should should only be as wide as your canvas.

I was working on 18x12 posters and the images I was enlarging were hanging way over the canvas and would not crop because they were imported as vector images.

Good luck.

I was wondering the same thing, found this question, but was not satisfied with the answers. My solution is to use Image>Canvas Size and then make it very large. Delete the stuff that is off of the canvas and you do not want using any of the usual methods. When you are done, return the canvas to the original size using Canvas Size again.

When you do layer via copy, you lose the ability to adjust the parts that are off the canvas that you want to keep.

An alternative to try: select all (or make a selection of everything you want to keep), right click > layer via copy, use the copied layer and hide the original.

(I know this is a really old question I just thought some one else might end up here with a similar problem (like I just did...))

Select all
Choose Image > Crop from the menu.


This will delete all the pixels which fall outside the canvas.

Note it will not delete smart objects or vector/shape layers outside the canvas. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to remove extra smart object or vector/shape layers outside the canvas.
