I'm not by any means a Photoshop expert. I can save an image for the web and it saves the slices as individual jepgs or the like in an .html file. One can open those separately. There is no doubt an easier way. We will probably have to wait a bit for a better answer.

Maybe this is a better answer? Choose the slice tool and right click to get the drop down menu. Choose "Divide Slice" from there. Then choose File/Save for Web. This creates the html file that contains the individual .jpg files.

Robert, When I print ceramic tile murals I've found it easier to bring the file into Corel Draw, make a template of my tile size and number of tiles, then powerclip the picture into the template, then ungroup the template which will give you the seperate tiles. If you want to do it in Photoshop check out this tutorial here http://www.tropicalgraphics.com/ht/

I don't know about automatic exactness. I cut up my images by setting guidelines. I set my guideline precisely by zooming as far as I can.
then (over a flat image/no layers) use the selection tool, it will snap to the guidelines, copy (ctrl+c), open a new file and paste that section of image in, save
go back to original file and select next section, copy, open new, paste, save ... go backto original file ....
if you want a "tile" ... when you make your selection and go to edit, define pattern
The image is one I "cut up" in PS then reassembled with code. The bottom image shows where it was cut, the top is re-assembled ... mouse around the top one, that's why it's cut up (carefully but easily)

I'm a litle rusty with Photoshop, but I believe you can do this...
Once you determine an overal dimension (in pixels) of the artwork, you can create a mask and specify it's dimensions for 1/4 of the overall design. Use the "cut" command and create a new file from the clipboard and save it. Moving the mask to the four corners of the design, you can repeat the above to create the other 3 sections.
Hope this helps... Rapid
