Align layers on a path

[Jamie Farquharson]

Hi Everyone, I kind of hope I am missing something very obvious here. I have a whole load of layers that I want to distribute along the length of a path. Please note, this isn't a question of using the Align options found in the Move tool, as good as they are. I'm thinking of something more like the Stroke path option found in the Paths window. Any advice super gratefully recieved. For what it's worth, I'm using Photoshop CC 2017.

Thanks,

Jamie

Would you provide a screenshots to describe what you need?!

Hi Omar, thanks for getting in touch, and sorry, I could have been clearer in my question. In my screen shots I am using extremely simplified layers for illustraion purposes.

Below are my layers and the path I would like to distribute them along. The layers are not Shape layers, they are distinct, individual photographs.

Below are the starting positions of the layers, and the active path below them.

And this is how I would like the layers to appear, distributed along the length of the path.

In my real image I am dealing with 200+ layers, and being able to align/ distribute them along the path without having to do it manually would be a HUGE relief. Hopefully I have been clearer this time, thanks again.

Jamie

Wow, that is a lot to digest, but it looks like it might be what I'm looking for. Thanks for letting me know about that script, I'll let you know how it goes
