There are several possible methods. The first one that comes to mind File -> Export -> Image Slicer. This was created a long long time ago when the web was still young. It's meant for creating webpages with images split up into a table with distinct links for each cell, making it slightly faster to load pieces of the image into a banner when we were back on dial-up days. But it does let you create a grid of any type, equal, unequal, whatever, slicing the image into neat little pieces.

Here's the help article on the function - https://help.corel.com/paintshop-pro/v2 ... #/l2TOC351

Another option is to add Guides to the image and then use the crop tool with Snap To Guides turned on to select each area and use the "Crop as new Image" option to create a new image from the area.

To do this you need to show the rulers view -> Rulers. Then click inside a ruler and drag onto the image to create a guide. If you double click on a guide on the ruler it'll pop-up a dialog box and gives you the option to set a specific pixel location. So with a little math you can figure out exactly how many guides you need and where they need to be. Manually position them where you want them. Then turn on Snapping. View -> Snap to Guide

Grab the crop tool, click in the corner of a section near the guide, and drag down to the opposite corner it should snap to fit. Click "Crop to new image" button on the options toolbar to create a new image.

The final option I can suggest, use scripts.

I'm sure there's one out there that does this for you pretty well. I have a script on here that can split an image based on guides. And a separate script that creates guides at certain intervals. They could probably be used in conjunction to create this effect as well.

Thanks. I will try. I've heard of the scripts and search in the PSP tutorials but found nothing.

I believe that one of the @LeviFiction scripts can be found here:
