Tiling in Photoshop

[CES020]

I have a photo I need to tile into pieces for a project. I watched a tutorial online that showed how to make grids the right size, then use the marquee tool, giving it a fixed size of each tile, then using the grid as a guide to lay the marquee in the right place. I'm all good with that, but it said to draw the marquee out, which I did, then go to "print" and select "Print Selected Area". I check that box, and no matter what I do, it shows (and prints) the entire photo.

What am I missing? I did the marquee thing and thought it was okay, that didn't work, then I used the select tool to click on the marquee that was created, and thought that would solve the problem, but nope, it just shows a print preview of the entire photo and prints the entire photo each time.

Any suggestions?

It's a birthday gift for my Niece. It's a tile mural of a dog she rescued several years ago that passed away recently.

Any help is appreciated. I know I can take it into Illustrator and use clipping masks to create it and I'll do that if I can't figure this out, but I'd like to just go right from Photoshop if I can (CS4).

Thanks!
Steve

What kind of printer are you printing to? What if you draw the marquis and hit crop, then print, then control Z to go back and do it again to the next one?

It's just a desktop dye sub printer. I'll try the cropping method you mentioned. That should work, I'd think.

If that doesn't work, try selecting and cutting to a new layer first. One all tiles are cut, check that it is what you want. Now select each layer, copy, open a new workspace and paste in the individual tile. Repeat for all and you're good to go.
