    this tutorial is really the best, can you please tell me is there any way to cut up the pieces of any image by putting guides in it, let me explain, if I want to cut a big image into small pieces say 50 making guides, is there any way or option in photoshop to automatically save ‘em insted of cutting ‘em manually and pasting into new small images.

    regards,

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
