Trimming the edges can sometimes be minimized by copying parts of the
image with little detail (such as the sky) into the white areas that
would otherwise need trimming. Cloning is the natural thing, I suppose,
but I sometimes find it easier to use the rectangular marquee tool along
with edit->transform->distort. Draw a narrow rectangle under the area
to be patched and then select edit->transform->distort and drag the edge
into the white area. Then press "enter" to effect the change. Using
"distort" allows dragging at an angle if desired. This is usually
preferably done in several discrete steps since the width of the area
needing patching varies considerably across the image.
AFAIK, I invented (or morel likely) re-invented this technique myself so
there are probably even better ways to do it.
