Apply the scale transformation
Write the new image out to disk
For step 3, the formula involves the Pythagorean theorem.
Given W = width, H = height, and R = radius of the circle, the scaling ...

Step 1 - Align your big circle and small circles to the center of the canvas to have a simple reference point (since we know exactly what the center of the canvas is).
Step 2 - Move all of your small circles to the desired distance from the big circle. Then select four of them and enter free transform mode (Ctrl+T). If your reference point is disabled, ...
