I want to take a photo and split it up into several different-sized pieces, and then enlarge each piece and frame them individually to create a large display on a wall. Can that be done?
I did it in Picasa. Just cropped what I wanted, did "save as," then click un-do, and repeat.
For example:
orig
just the upper left
upper right

A quick way to divide a photo in photoshop:
1. Open Image.
2. Select Slice Tool (from Crop Tool Submenu).
3. Right Click on your image. Select "divide slice".
4. Divide image as desired... see example 1.
4. Select ... "Save for Web" on main menu.
5. Adjust to max resolution... see example 2.
6. Save image ... see example 3. (Save images... not images & HTML).
It should create a subfolder beneath the original containing the divided images.
The first 2 screenshots were downsized too much on upload to read. Here are slightly larger versions.
Sorry, tschmath. I just noticed you said "different" size pieces, and my examples were showing evenly divided images.
4a. Add extra subdivisions of each "slice" as needed with the "slice select" tool and more "divide slice" commands.
In Example 2, I failed to uncheck the box "Convert to sRGB"
Also, I see that I stutter when I type the number 4. Maybe someone can teach me to count.
For those who do not have PS there is a freeware. I am careful and download from CNET which is "virus free". But as with many free ware downloads, be sure to chose "custom install" and decline all the junk ware ad ware offers. Such junk is hard to get rid of, so decline installing it.

Here is an example of what I did in Photoshop using slices. It was the first time working with the slice tool.
