Using the method I gave you it doesn't matter what the size or orentation. You are telling the Trim tool that you want to trim all the pixels that are the same as the pixel at the top left corner. So PS is going to trim all the white pixels. Say your border was blue and you set the Trim tool to trim all the pixels that are the same as color as the top left pixel. It would trim all the blue pixels.
To help you with the setting up the action, Cecil gave a link to You Tube. This is good for you to watch and you will get a visual of the steps I gave you. Watch the tutorial to get the feel of an action and then follow my steps. In the tutorial he makes a new action set. In my instruction I just put the action in the default group without making a new set.

Are all your photos that you wish to trim the same size? Are they oriented the same i.e. landscape or portrait?I'll do an action and see if it works and let you know.JoAnn H

Yes I would too, if I knew how to do it manually and if I knew how to create an action.Kerry Koppert----- Original Message -----From: Ardith HeadSent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 1:02 PMSubject: Re: [photoshop-beginners] Automating trimming edgesI'm thinking you could create an action to do this.JoAnn H

I am creating Mosaics of the moon from a number of tiff images. The tiff images are created by Registax 6 from 500 frame avi's. The individual Tiff files are created with a small 3 pixel wide light border (By the sharpening I think) and are 1024 x 768. What I would like to do is trim a 3 pixel wide border off each tiff. I can do this easily in Irfanview but this means dropping to 8 bit tiffs and I can manually use the crop tool in Photoshop to remove A small border (size unknown). What I would like to do is automate and quantify (make a known size) this cropping in Photoshop CS3. I guess it's real easy WHEN you know how. Can someone explain to this old man how to do this?Kerry Koppert
