Cut and image in many square images

[gtsolid]

Hi,

I have a panoramic image that is much longer than higher.

I wish to split in into several squares. I would start from a cropped image in which the number of squares is exact (without any digits after the comma).

How can i automatize this operation?

For example in a 11:1 image i would like to obtain 11 different 1x1 images.

I found an old script, which could be useful as a basis...

#target photoshop

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var hs = doc.activeHistoryState;
var width = doc.height.value;
var height = doc.height.value;
var cellWidth = width;
var cellHeight = height;
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
    options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
    options.quality = 100;

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var dname = doc.name.substr(0,doc.name.length-4);
var dir = doc.path.toString()+"/";
var rowShift = true;
var imageWidth = activeDocument.width.as('px');
var imageHeight = activeDocument.height.as('px');

var myRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
doc.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false;

doc.resizeCanvas(cellWidth, cellHeight, AnchorPosition.TOPLEFT);

var totalOffset = 0;
var xMovement = 0;

for (var y = 0; y < numberOfRows(); y++)
{
    totalOffset = 0;

    for (var x = 0; x < numberOfCells(); x++)
    {
        if (x == 0)
        {
            xMovement = rowShift;
        }
        else
        {
            xMovement = cellWidth;
        }
        totalOffset += xMovement;
        doc.activeLayer.applyOffset(-(xMovement), 0, OffsetUndefinedAreas.WRAPAROUND);
        saveCell(x,y);
    };
    doc.activeLayer.applyOffset(totalOffset, -(cellHeight), OffsetUndefinedAreas.WRAPAROUND);
    rowShift = !rowShift;
};
function numberOfCells()
{
    var theWidth = imageWidth;

    if (rowShift == true)
    {
        var theWidth = theWidth; 
    }
    return Math.floor(theWidth / cellWidth);
}
function numberOfRows()
{
    return Math.floor(imageHeight / cellHeight);
}
function pad(num, size)
{
    var s = "000000000" + num;
    return s.substr(s.length-size);
}
function saveCell(x, y)
{
    var nname = dname + "_" + pad((x + 1), 2);

    doc.exportDocument (new File(dir + "/" + nname + ".jpg"), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
}
app.purge(PurgeTarget.HISTORYCACHES);
doc.activeHistoryState = hs;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = myRulerUnits;

And another option here too:

//community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/dividing-big-document-to-smaller-ones/m-p/9311087
// split image into x times y segments and save them as psds;
// 2017, use it at your own risk;

// 2020 - Modified by Stephen Marsh, adding prompts, save alert, saved doc test.

Did it work or do you still need help?
