Batch clipping between two folders, one with mask, one with photos

Question

Hello:I have folder "A" full of PNG images (200) that are actually clipping masks and folder "B" is a set of photos (200). Both sets are in identical dimensions US letter 8.5 × 11".Is it possible to make action/script for batch processing that will take photo #1 from folder "A" and photo #1 from folder B"" and clip it, photo #2 from folder "A" and photo #2 from folder "B" and clip it, and so on? I will always have new set of clipping masks and new set of photos that need to be clipped in specific way. Is there any way to automate this work?Thanks in advance.

Depending on one of described scenarios replace:

while(A.length) parng(shft = A.shift(), 'dLayerRelinkToFile'), parng(B.shift(), 'Event'),

to:

while(A.length) parng(shft = A.shift(), 'dLayerRelinkToFile'), parng(B[0], 'Event'),

or:

while(B.length) parng(A[0], 'dLayerRelinkToFile'), parng(shft = B.shift(), 'Event'),

Create on your desktop 2 folders like in your example with appropriate content: A, B

If their resolution is other than 300, then change that for example to 72 in the script.

Change in the code '*.png' chunk (for folder B) to other extension if they're not png.

Run script, wait some time and find resultant files in self created C desktop folder:

function crt() {
	aD.activeLayer.name = 'Bottom'; (ref = new ActionReference()).putEnumerated
	(sTT('menuItemClass'), sTT('menuItemType'), sTT('screenModeFullScreen'));
	(dsc = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref),
	executeAction(sTT('select'), dsc, DialogModes.NO);

	(ref = new ActionReference()).putProperty(sTT('property'), gP = sTT('generalPreferences'))
	ref.putClass(sTT('application')); (dsc1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref);
	(dsc2 = new ActionDescriptor()).putBoolean(sTT('placeRasterSmartObject'), false)
	dsc1.putObject(sTT('to'), gP, dsc2), executeAction(sTT('set'), dsc1)
	executeAction(sTT('newPlacedLayer'))
}

sTT = stringIDToTypeID; Folder(C = (pth = '~/desktop/') + 'C/').create()
A = File(pth + 'A').getFiles('*.png'), B = File(pth + 'B').getFiles('*.png');
(aD = documents.add(UnitValue(2550,'px'), UnitValue(3300, 'px'), 300, '', null,
DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT, null, null, 'none')).suspendHistory('crt', 'crt()')

function loop() {
	function parng(v1, v2) {
		(dsc = new ActionDescriptor()).putPath(sTT('null'), v1)
		executeAction(sTT('place' + v2), dsc)
	}

	while(A.length) parng(shft = A.shift(), 'dLayerRelinkToFile'), parng(B.shift(), 'Event'),
	(ref = new ActionReference()).putEnumerated(sTT('layer'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum')),
	(dsc = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref), executeAction(sTT('groupEvent'), dsc),
	aD.saveAs(File(C + shft.name), png, true), aD.activeHistoryState = aD.historyStates[2]
}

png = new PNGSaveOptions
aD.suspendHistory('loop', 'loop()')
aD.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
