: How do I thin out the objects in the layer while they stay at their position? I want to thin out all the little objects in my layer while they stay at their position. How exactly is that

Your object is a black bitmap that is splitted to smaller shapes by a vector mask. I assume that essentially you want to edit the vector mask so that all black parts will be reduced uniformly smaller, but otherwise they save their positions. Rescaling the whole shape in a no-go idea.

In photoshop the vector masks can be exported as ai files. Do it and open the vector mask in Illustrator. Do not be afraid of a miniscule artboard. It can be enlargened, if wanted. Then do the following:

A simple solution would be to add a white stroke (or whatever color background the object is on) to the inside of the object, using a Layer Style (if, in fact, this is what you mean by "thin out the objects").
