I'm late to post in this thread but I did have one thing to add for anyone who may view this thread later down the road.


There's no doubt that Illustrator is the better way to create this image/effect. You have had some great suggestions here.


This can certainly be done in Photoshop. My issue was that using a stroke left me with many layers that in CS6, I could not combine (i could make it smart object, but this limits the ability to edit). I preferred to create a single SHAPE layer.


I used the grid (as Tom Mentions) setting the spacing to the width I desired for my circles/rings.


I then created a shape in the size of the largest of the rings.

Reduced it's opacity so I could see the grid....

I set the Path Operations to 'Subtract Front Shape'.........

.......and created the next ellipse shape to the next grid line. This of course removes the center leaving a ring.

Change the Path Operations to "Combine Shapes'.

 Create a new shape to the next grid line.....

Repeat until done.


Change the opacity back to 100%. Turn off the grid.

 Now I have 1 shape layer.......no strokes.

Then I used the Line Tool and a step and repeat process to create my pie shape separator....

Highlighting the two shape layers I subtracted the front shape.
