The above processes are little bit difficult; you can achieve this type of aligning using brush pallet and stroke path.

I really hope there's an easier way in photoshop. If I had to do it in photoshop here's how I would do it:


Draw a reference curve
Place your seats along the curve
When done, align with: Distribute Horizontal Centers
Add guides and vertically align the seat with the "matching" one
Now you can duplicate this row, for more rows




Not the most elegant solution, and it requires some work. I really hope someone comes up with a better answer for Photoshop.

The example you give sounds like one for Illustrator instead, using 'Blend along a path' or possibly a pattern brush.
