[Photoshop CS4] How to place layers evenly around a circle?

I've been trying to figure this out for over a month, I can't find anything on google other than ppl referring to using imageready for this task and of course imageready has been integrated into Photoshop CS4.

What I want to do is evenly distribute layers around a circle, each layer must be evenly spaced.

This image is just a very quick and dirty example of what I want (aside from the fact that it isnt evenly distributed and I just painted dots around). What I want to do is evenly place these dots around the circle, each dot must be the same distance from the one beside it and across from it.

If anyone has a solution for this, I'd be very grateful. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile.


Thanks,

Chris.

That is something better done in Illustrator, but if I had to do it in PS:

I'd use transform and set the degree of rotation in the options.

How would I do it in Illustrator? I have illustrator as well.

Essentially the same. Use the rotation tool and select the degree of rotation. Hit ctrl D to repeat all the way around the circle. Remember a circle has 360 degrees, so you need to use an even number for it to come out properly.

I'm surprised I didnt think of this before. Thanks for your help, this has proven to be very useful or me.

Is this the same?
