G'day,

 

Hi. I want to cut triangles or other shapes of the same size from many separate files/images then put them altogether in one image to make a virtual quilt.

Can I make a cut tool to repeatedly cut same shape in many files images?

    You could record the creation of the Selection in an Action. 

    Or you could create a grayscale image of the shape and load that as a Selection in teh other images (Select > Load Selection). 

    Or … 

     

    But you might want to go in another direction and create Groups with the appropriate Layer Masks in one file and then place the other images in there.

      PECourtejoie recently recommended a Brush Tip in Wuick Mask Mode, which seems like another neat option.

      But like I mentioned earlier it may be easier to create the Selections as Masks in one file and file them with the placed images (see screenshot).
