The following script will process A and B "paired" files in a single, top level folder and will then export them to PNG in a new folder under the top level folder named "C-Versions" using a C at the end of the original filename.
You will need to alter the values in the colorBalance() function. You will also likely need to look at the values in the saveForWebPNG function as well.
Compare to your current process to ensure that the end result is correct. Work on a small subset of the original images to ensure that the pair processing is sorting correctly.
The script is easily modified if you wish to combine ABC files and output a combined D version, however, more info would be required.

Combine File A & B to New File C v1.jsx

Looking to layer approximately 11.4 million images. Could use some script help.
