Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop, and get the pen tool(p).

Step 2: Using the pen tool, make an anchor point anywhere on the pic where you plan on chopping it, by left clicking on the spot.

Step 3: Make another anchor point where you plan on chopping again, in a spot above, beside, etc. to your last anchor point.

Step 4:Now click somewhere on your line, to make an anchor point on the line. Then, holding down ctrl, drag it till it fits in place. You can make multiple anchor points on the line for precision fitting.
