when I need to save a part of an image as a new image in photoshop, I crop the picture, save-as, and undo the cropping. On huge files this is slow, and feels inefficient.

Is there a better way to tell Photoshop "save whatever you see in this rectangle as a new file"?

Randy has the right idea using slices but it's even easier. Say you have four images in a row. Separate each with a vertical guide line and then, using the slice tool, click on "Slices From Guides" (in the slices toolbar). Then save to web. It will create four separate files with each slice. You'll find them in that images folder.

Ctrl+Shift+C copies your selection to a single layer
Ctrl+N followed by Enter makes a new document with the exact size of your cut
Ctrl+V pastes your flattened selection

You could try to use the slice tool C, hidden under the crop tool. Make a slice of the part you want to export, and then use File > Save for Web.... Downside is that all the other parts of the image will be saved as well, as separate image files.

Be warned that all of those slice image files will be saved into a directory named 'images'.

There's no "Save Selection As" if that's what you're hoping for. The quickest way is probably to do:


M (rectangular marquee selection)
Ctrl / Cmd+Shift+C (copy merged)
Ctrl / Cmd + N (new file)
Ctrl / Cmd + V (paste)
Ctrl / Cmd + S (save)
