Thanks in advance! Here's the Story. I have a client who wants a 40"x 60" print. I printed it on Metal but cut it into 3 equal size panels. Is there a way to do this in LRC?

If you "know nothing about Photoshop" then your best workflow is the Lightroom-Classic method to Export TIFFs (or JPGs) from the individual (cropped) Virtual copies, as suggested by @JohanElzenga  . You then print each individually.

Do you mean- "Cut" the image into equal portions to print separately? (You want three 40"x20" cuts from the 40"x60" original?)

It can be done in Lightroom-Classic by creating Virtual Copies of your original and cropping each differently to make three images, one for each panel.

Probably easier to do in Photoshop where you have rulers visible as guides and options to set pixel sizes etc..

Thank you! Knowing nothing about Photoshop, I'm assuming that I can pull what is now a .tiff file from my Photos Drive into Photoshop?

You have to export these virtual copies in order to create three tiff files.
