How do I make photoshop quickly combine two sets of about 1000 images each?

I need it to grab an image from set one, put an image from set two on top of it as a layer, and then change the layer's opacity or use the top layer as a screen. I then need it to repeat this roughly 999 times. I've tried googling but I'm not even sure what to call this. Oh yeah, and I have photoshop 7.

Go to the actions toolbar, and click record.
Combine 2 images and then click stop in actions.

Then go file >> automate >> and and choose the action you just created. Point it towards the folder of images and go make a sandwich while it does it all.

I don't have photoshop open, but this is the general gist of it. You can google for photoshop batch processing and actions.

Goodluck

With the batch processing, you can also set up what's called a "droplet" on your desktop, and then all you'd need to do is drag your (pair of) pictures into the droplet.

Thank you! It took some working with but I got my pictures all combined in the way that I wanted them. I'm actually now kind of embarrassed that I asked such a simple question here when if I had more patience I could have found the answer. But this has made my evening so much less complicated.
