Cutting image in parts

[efgeepic]

I have an image,  i  want to get 9 by 7 equal rectangles as layers, the size of the image is different.

this could be portrait as also landscape.

the 63 rectangles should be in 63 layers.

Thanks to the experts!!!

View > New Guide Layout.

Select Slice tool.

Click Slices from Guides.

File > Export > Save for Web.

Choose optimization settings and click Save. Photoshop will put all slices into a folder, each as a separate image.

Is there any possibility, that these slices are automatically as layers in the image file?

Nope, but you could run this script and it will create your layers...

#target photoshop
if(documents.length){
var startRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
doc = app.activeDocument;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
doc.flatten();
var tilesAcross =9;
var tilesDown =7;
var tileWidth = parseInt(doc.width/tilesAcross);
var tileHeight = parseInt(doc.height/tilesDown);
ProcessFiles(tilesDown,tilesAcross,tileWidth,tileHeight);
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;      
}
function ProcessFiles(Down,Across,offsetX,offsetY){
    try{
var newName = activeDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
}catch(e){var newName="UntitledChop"}
TLX = 0;    TLY = 0;    TRX = offsetX;    TRY = 0;
BRX = offsetX;    BRY = offsetY;    BLX = 0;    BLY = offsetY;
    for(var a = 0; a < Down; a++){
        for(var i = 0;i <Across; i++){
            var NewFileName = newName +"#"+a+"-"+i;
                activeDocument.selection.select([[TLX,TLY],[TRX,TRY],[BRX,BRY],[BLX,BLY]], SelectionType.REPLACE, 0, false); 
                    executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "CpTL" ), undefined, DialogModes.NO );
                activeDocument.activeLayer.name = NewFileName;
                app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();
                activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName("Background");
TLX = offsetX * (i+1) ;    TRX  = TLX + offsetX;    BRX = TRX;    BLX = TLX;        
        }
TLX = 0;    TLY = offsetY * (a +1); TRX = offsetX;    TRY = offsetY * (a +1);
BRX = offsetX;    BRY = TRY + offsetY; BLX = 0;    BLY = (offsetY * (a +1)+offsetY);    
    }
};

this is nearly the best result. i have some gaps in the image.

Please take a look at the image.

Counter is perfect.

Are you viewing at 100% (1:1)? If not, view at 100% and report back.

If you merge all layers to a single layer (not flatten), do the lines disappear?

For future reference: a similar but different script – Photoshop script to cut images into new layers of a given size · GitHub

/* modification of a script by Oisin Conolly (digitalbiscuits.co.uk),
 * found on StackOverflow (http://goo.gl/Ko9Ik) */
// x and y size of the slices we want to take
var xSize = 110;
var ySize = 30;
// set the ruler type
if (app.preferences.rulerUnits != Units.PIXELS) {
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
}
// keep a reference to the document and original layer
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var layerRef = docRef.activeLayer;
for (y = 0; y<docRef.height; y+=ySize) {
    for (x = 0; x<docRef.width; x+=xSize) {
        // activate the original layer
        docRef.activeLayer = layerRef;
        // make the selection
        docRef.selection.select(Array (Array(x, y), Array(x, y+ySize), Array(x+xSize,y+ySize), Array(x+xSize,y)), SelectionType.REPLACE, 0, false);
        // copy the selection
        docRef.selection.copy();
        // create new layer
        docRef.artLayers.add();
        // deselect so that the paste hits 0,0 like we want it to for the animation
        docRef.selection.deselect();
        // and paste it
        docRef.paste();
    }
}

Thank you, looked at it on 100%, no gaps.

Best regards.

[SuperMerlin]

View it at 100% and you will see the gaps dissapear.

There's the Photoshop command File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack, which will combine multiple images into a layered file. The resulting image will be the canvas size of one sliced image.

Thanks for this answer:)

It's certainy possible to slice your image into sections and then save them out as slices. Does this video help?

how to slice picture in photoshop - YouTube

this will save each image seperately in a folder of your choice.

Placing them on individual layers would probably have to be done manually from there.
