You are talking about a tile editor.
You might look around for such an editor that will produce a final image. Myself, I will be creating the tool to do so. I would look into doing that but it's up to you.

I think what he means is a tile engine where you grab 1 piece of
an image (a tile) and paste it on a map that has already been defined
look at my code and tell me if this is what you mean it might not work but it will give you an idea on how to make a basic tile engine



btw
"if = 1 then pasteimage 1 ,x ,y ,1"
really is
if z = 1 then pasteimage 1, x,y, 1

Windows! The game that never ends.

You need a map editor which has been mentioned. If you are repeating images in photoshop then you are not really saving memory so it's pointless (Although there is a way to convert the Photoshop image back into tiles using a special kind of map editor.) If you really want to repeat images in photoshop just turn the grid on and set it to 32*32 pixels.
