How to Cutting and Dividing objects with Photoshop

Cutting and dividing objects 

We can cut and divide objects with three particular simple methods-

1. Divide object below

2. Compound path

3.Divide with pathfinder

Divide Objects Below

Make sure you have selected all the objects you want to work with. If more than one object is selected divide object below won’t work. Simply generate the object that will do the separating and position it over the other fill object to be divided. Then choose Object>Path>Divide Objects Below.

Object > Path > Divide Object Below lets you take an object and divide it into all the objects below it. You only have to select the top most objects, and it cuts all the way

Compound path

Cut a hole in an object with a compound path
Select or draw a shape to use as a hole, and place it so that it overlaps the object to cut. Do again for any additional objects you want to use as holes.

Choose all the substance you want to include in the compound path.
For applying compound path you need to Go & Choose Object > Compound Path > Make.

Divide (pathfinder)

Separate a piece of artwork into its component-filled. But when you use the Divide button in the Pathfinder panel, you can use the Direct Selection or Group Selection tool to manipulate the resulting faces alone of each other. You can also choose to delete or conserve unfilled objects when apply the Divide command with pathfinder.
