i know phreax knows how to do it with photoshop but he's away at the moment. fireworks will do it
Hello
Are you going to chop it into pieces of the same size and shape?
hexagone
Because if they are you can use the actions menu (these are photoshop actions not flash at all) to record what you do allowing you to then replay the actions on each bit
eg select
cut
new doc
paste
save
close
could be put into one button press
bye
hexagone
well in that case, how do you chop up in fireworks?
fireworks has a slice function where you can divide up the graphic into pieces. it's designed for webpage output where each piece may be a button or rollover;

check the yellow dot. you just click and drag. i think you can adjust it by numbers as well. when you export you choose a prefix and it names the files prefix_row_col etc.
download the demo and check it out for yourself
hope this helps
