• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Splitting large images

I have looked here and at Avsim and did some of my own research, but I cannot seem to find a tool that it is easy to split large images. I have a image about 6500 x 6500 that I'm trying to split into 30 1024x1024 images (yes there is some excess waste on the edges) to use as GMAX placed ground scenery. I have done this before by hand in Photoshop CS but it takes a long, long time to cut and paste all 30 images and have to cut and paste their alphas as well. Now I am about to split up the seasonal textures as well, so that means about 150 cut and pastes into new files (which doesn't sound like alot, but will take me hours and hours to do).

Does anyone know of a way to automate the spitting of a Photoshop image while keeping its alpha channel as well? Or a tool I could use if I just export each season as a BMP with alpha that would easily split the BMPs up? ( I have found one trial program called "split and tile" but it will not take that large of a file).

Thanks!
 
Switch the file into Imageready, came with Photoshop, and you can cut it at your hearts content. I know it's mainly meant for webdesign, but it can serve for texture purposes as well. I haven't done it in awhile, but the cut option is called 'slice' in Photoshop imageready. You can even add layerslices if I'm not mistaken...
