Here is my take, it could be optimized and have error checking added, however it works as expected in my tests using three random sets of image sequence numbers.
/* Combine Old - New - Mask Images to JPEG.jsx
//community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/batch-process-groups-of-files-based-on-numbering/td-p/10809093
NOTE: There is no error checking, the 3 input folders must all contain the same quantity of images!
Input files are expected to have filenames such as:
OldImage0001.jpg, OldImage0002.jpg etc.
Mask0001.jpg, Mask0002.jpg etc.
NewImage0001.jpg, NewImage0002.jpg etc.
Output files will be modified from the input name:
FinishedImage0001.jpg, FinishedImage0002.jpg etc.
The mask data is based off the RGB composite channel as there was no other info to go by...
It is also assumed that the old/new/mask files all have the same width/height/resolution.
