Is there an automatic way to crop the largest rectangle after a Photoshop CS6 Photomerge panorama?

After stitching several handheld phone images in Photoshop CS6 using Photomerge, the final panorama has uneven transparent edges because the frames were not perfectly aligned. Is there a built-in way in Photoshop CS6 to automatically crop the panorama to the largest possible rectangular area without including any empty transparent space? If not, what practical alternatives are available?

You can set up an action to select areas that have no image and do a context aware fill. This way you won't need to crop if there is enough information at the edges of your frame and the results are usually great when it works.

Photoshop CS6 Photomerge does not appear to include a built-in automatic “largest rectangle” crop for panoramas.
Practical alternatives mentioned were:
- Crop manually with the Crop tool.
- Use Content-Aware Fill on the transparent edge areas instead of cropping, which can preserve more of the panorama if the surrounding image gives Photoshop enough information to work with.
- Use a dedicated panorama stitching program such as Hugin before editing in Photoshop; Hugin includes an auto-crop function.
So if you want a fully automatic crop to the biggest rectangle, Photoshop CS6 is likely not the right tool for that step. In CS6, the usual workflow is either manual cropping or filling the missing edge areas with Content-Aware Fill.
