Sweep a line of pixels on an axis...?

[Name]

Hello,

I am trying to sweep a line of pixels around an axis point in photoshop (or Illustrator if advised) to create a circle or multiple circles from the line of pixels. I have to use the line of pixels as it is a slice of an original image to capture a colour swatch. I have not used photoshop in close to 10 years and I cannot for the life of me figure out how I used to do it or if I did for that matter? I thought I used to, whilst I hade the line of Pixels selected use the Transform>Rotate option then Adjust the pivot point. Then I manually rotated it once whilst copying (Which I can no longer work out how to do) and just continue with cmd D or whatever the "do again" shortcut was?? Hope someone can please advise or recommend another way to go about it. I am also open to using Illustrator if that would be more advisable.

Thanks in advance.

Can you show us an example of the effect you are trying to achieve?

like admin said some sort of example will be great.

Not really got an example but I have managed to work out one way! I crop the image so I get a line of pixels and then take it into illustrator and work it from there. Buy transform/rotate(vary degree angle)/copy repeat. Sort of does what I want. Just thought there might be a short cut in Photoshop with a filter or effect.

Thanks

There probably is a faster way to do it, but it's a bit hard to imagine what kind of effect you are going for without an example image. If you come across one let us know.
