Batch combine multiple baked renders (Stack on top of each other)

OccultMonk

Is there a program or tool to quickly merge baked renders. Something similar to the 'Load into Stack' function from Photoshop. So for example when I render multiple NM (Parts of a larger NM) with an alpha channel and want to combine these maps I have to first convert them from TGA to PNG (because Photoshop does not use the TGA alpha channel) then load them into Photoshop with the 'Load into Stack' script. I would like a tool where I could just drag the TGA Normal maps and then they would get combined. It this possible with PS Actions/Droplets or is there some other tool that does this?

Isn't there some tool to automatically combine (stack) multiple images (Bakes) with alphas on top of each other?

Hey guys can someone point me towards the latest version of Backstube.  

Maybe I'm just daft, but I can't find it.  I did find a Packstube download though...  

Thanks much, looking forward to trying it out!

If you bake in 3dsmax, you can also use the RTT assist plugin to bake and combine in a couple of clicks.
