How to Divide an Image Into Blocks on Gimp
The Guillotine feature in the free image editing program GIMP allows you to divide an image into separate blocks. Before you can use the Guillotine, you must create guide lines on the image. These guide lines divide the image into regions; when you activate the Guillotine tool, it slices the image along the lines, dividing it into blocks. You can then edit each block individually and save it as a separate image.
