You can try this first draft script. It's mostly there and should only require cosmetic tweaking, such as removing the manual save folder selection step if you want to save the merged files to the TIFF input folder or automatically create a new merged output folder alongside or within the TIFF input folder.
Notes:
* Saves a layered TIFF file, change the boolean from true to false to save a flattened TIFF file [line 71]
* Layer opacity at 40% [line 108]
* Optional feature to crop to transparency, remove the leading double-forward slash // comments to enable [line 111]
* Adds a '_Merged' filename suffix to the saved TIFF file, you could change this name or remove the content inside the single quotes '' [line 112]
I'm happy to make other modifications if required.
