Probably a simple question, but I'm not sure on the best way to do this.
I have a shot I would like to divide into 3 equal parts and print that way to frame as a series. I'm not sure on how to split this image in Photoshop?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

You could always slice it into 3 pieces using some guides and the crop tool, then print them make 3 layers and print them individually? I'm sure someone here has done it and has a solid workflow they can offer.
If you Google PhotoShop Triptych Tutorial you will find several. The techniques should help you, even it that is not exactly what you want in the end.

It's a very simple task. Once you have it toned like you want it, save the image as a new file three times. Then open each one and crop it to the size you want, being careful to maintain the same height on all three images.

Select Snap to Guides for cropping or square path tool or marquee selection, depending on your workflow.
Along Matt's suggestion, you could also save a selection as an alpha channel for each section. Once you have individual, loadable selections, you could make different adjustments on each panel for a very interesting effect.
