Not sure about the details, but this might work:

@jazz-y, impressive!

Yes by making a script that you link to the Open Document event.

The screenshot shows a Resize script, I do not have/need a multiply script. 🙂

I'm guessing your script would be one or two lines so you should be able to figure it fast. xoxo

Bad timing, I'm off to bed.

You need to provide more context.

Will the images have a flattened Background?

Are they single layer images?

If multi layered is it always the very top layer?

Are layer groups or artboards in use?

Can you provide a screenshot of the layers panel?

Not that I am aware of. In what context? Creating a layer? For a tool such as the brush? Similar to Myra's suggestion, actions and scripts can default this in a given context
