Hello, I am new to Photoshop and a simple question about lines in new mask.

I want to draw lines on a din a6 sized paper in the same size and with the same distances between theses lines.

It should be a little bit like a table, but a table isn´t right for my needs.

To create multiple parallel, equidistant lines, you could create a line, duplicate it, and distribute them all. Here's how:

  1. Make sure Smart Guides are enabled (View > Show > Smart Guides) to help align the lines to the edges
  2. Use the Line tool (N) to draw a line
  3. Select the line layer in the Layers panel
  4. Go to Layer > New > Shape Layer via Copy (or press Ctrl (Windows) / Command (macOS) + J to duplicate the layer)
  5. Repeat #4 for as many lines as you want
  6. Select the top line layer in the Layers panel and align it to the top with Align to: Canvas selected
  7. Select the bottom line layer in the Layers panel and align it to the bottom with Align to: Canvas selected
  8. Select all the line layers in the Layers panel and distribute the vertical centers with Align to: Canvas selected
