I want to copy a shape object 28 times onto a single layer. The canvas size is 11 x 8.5 inches, and the grid is 7 wide by 4 tall. I need to do the same thing in a mask.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Place and Paste create new layers. So you can Place in or Paste in your object as a layer and duplicate the layer 27 times and position the 28 layers in a grid over the canvas and merges the 28 layer into a single layer you blend into your document. You can code a Photoshop script to do that to a layer you Place or Paste into your document. A gride like 4 rows 7 columns.

Or Make a Patten use a pattern Fill or Use my PastImageRoll script make a grid of your object.

11" wide by 8.5" high would require the object size to be 1.571" wide by 2.125" high or have the 1571:2125 aspect ration and be resized to that size.
