So handy! I’ve needed both of those several times, but made the changes manually because I didn’t know about Trim and Reveal All. I just love your two minute tips. Thank you!!
Thanks for the tip – I had never tried those two commands, but they will definitely come in useful.
Wow! That’s super cool, Nicole! I knew about Reveal All, but I didn’t know about Trim! I use Canvas Size to remove what I don’t want, but now I’ll use Trim :~)
Thanks for the tip, Nicole.
