Cropping an image in half, export/save, but different sizing for each half...?

Question

Hi photoshop community,

This is my first post so I greatly appreciate the support and apologize for any community norms not recognized in this post.

As stated in the title, I have a single image that I would like to crop in half (my intended use it to have each half of the image placed on side-by-side pages in an art book). I've used the standard cropping tool and the slice tool to crop the image, however, when I save the image to my desktop each half is a different size. I've saved the image as a PNG, jpeg and tiff but they all exhibit the same behavior. The mbs, resolution, height and width pixels are all the same for each image after cropping.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

J

PS: If it would be helpful for me to post images to illustrate the issue I'm running into I'm happy to do that.

For me the confusing part is Slice tool. Why you are involving Slice tool and how?

You can drag guide in the middle and use it to crop two separate pieces on separate layers. You can do that using Marguee selection and Ctrl/Cmd + J shortcut. After creating selection press shortcut and ensure that you are on layer with information which you want to duplicate on new layer.

The next question is do you want each piece with document dimensions or with cropped dimensions?

If you want pieces with cropped dimensions then you should trim extra space what can be done in couple of ways: duplicate both pieces in new documents (right click on layer > Duplicate Layer > Destination > Document > New. Lastly use Image > Trim to trim extra space and save files.

Before exporting files you can check dimensions from the status bar and from Info panel or go to image > Image Size.
