Is there a way to crop an image in Photoshop to the content and not the canvas size? I already removed the background of the image to make a cut out of the subject.



Now I'd like to trim away the canvas so that when I lay it out in InDesign, the text wraps around the person, not the whole rectangular image, which is what it does now.



As you can see, it's wrapping to the whole canvas, not just the figure.
I already tried Trim>Transparent Pixels, which didn't help.

Is this possible?

Many thanks!

There's no way to create a non-rectangular image in Photoshop.

In InDesign, you want to use the Text Wrap feature. This will allow you to wrap text based upon the transparency in the photo rather than the canvas rectangle. You merely need to ensure they Photoshop file has transparency around the edge, or the area you don't want shown. (White wont' work. It has to be transparent).

Place the image into Indesign and with it selected, click the "wrap" icon on the Text Wrap Panel and then set the Type to "Alpha Channel"



That will read the transparency and wrap text to it:
