Can I resize the canvas by dragging and dropping?

[Belladonna]

Hi.

I have images that are bigger than the canvas. In MS Paint you can drag the corners of the canvas to reduce the size so they match the image exactly and there is no extra space to ruin the framing of the image. I've included a screenshot that shows the drag-dots.

In Photoshop CS5 I cant find any drag dots. I know you can change the canvas size by going into the Image Menu and clicking on Canvas Size, but this is very tricky and I cant match the size of the picture, and it assumes you know the measurements you want.

I have many images that I have to manipulate in Photoshop and then adjust the canvas size. Is there not a straight forward easy way to do this?

in photoshop cs5 on the left hand tool bar the 5th button down is a crop tool use that to click and drag a square around the area you want to keep then confirm the selection and that will crop the canvas size to the image will also work in ms paint using the crop tool
