Large Vinyl decal for the side of a Uhaul type truck.. 15'X6'
Need to chop it into six 5'X3' sections... In other words I need to send six different files to print, each being a section of the complete image
Do i make the image full size in photoshop then try to slice it?
If so, how?

MAC osX Tiger
Photoshop 7.0

Full size sounds good to me. Use a grid.

Edit > Preferences > Guides Grids Slices

Guideline every 1 inch, 1 subdivisions.

Use the marquee tool to select your portions, copy to new layer then duplicate layer to new image to create your individual portions.

You could use the slice tool however its intended for web use only and you want to print.
