I do not understand how that thread helps me. My images have very different names. I need to be able to open the first image in the folder, then it's -off version and make the proper changes, then move on to the next non -off image.

Hi David, I can write for you a script that will do that.
Contact me by email for more details.

It would be great if someone could share a solution to this in the forum..

It would be really useful...

A basic AppleScript solution shared�

set Folder_A to choose folder with prompt "Where are the images to resize" without invisibles
set Folder_B to choose folder with prompt "Where are the images to duplicate?" without invisibles

	set File_List_B to files in Folder_B
	set Count_B to count of files in folder Folder_B
	if Count_A ≠ Count_B then �
		display dialog "You have an uneven amount of pictures!!!" & return & "Check your folders and try again�" buttons {"Cancel"} default button "Cancel"
	if not (exists folder ("Combined Images " & This_Date) of desktop) then
		set New_Folder to make new folder at desktop with properties �
