23. Next, drag out a guide to divide the image in half. We only need to trace half of the image because it is symmetrical. View the QuickTime® movie below to see how to drag out a guide.


24. Next we want to select the right half of the image and copy it, then paste it as a new image. Start by making the selection. View the QuickTime® movie below to see how to make the selection.


25. Once you have made the selection, click Edit > Copy Merged. This will copy the image data into the clipboard. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + C (Windows®) or Cmd + Shift + C (Macintosh®).

26. Next click File > New. Just accept the image specifications in the new document window and click the "OK" button.
