  cutting up a layer in photoshop

  Posted by Jakob Thommessen on April 5, 2006 at 11:33 am

  Hi,
  I wonder if anybody knows an easy way to cut up a layer in many pieces, and turn them into different layers with the same position in space?

  I’m preparing an image for animation in after effects and it would be great if there was some way to pen out where I want the cuts, press a button and get multiple layers with parts of the image, but exactly the same image when you look at it with all the layers visible.

  Thank You Richard,

  but what I was looking for was a way to make a grid with the pen tool and then turn each square in the grid into a new layer.
  Maybe I wasn’t so clear…
