Depends how you call your application, no?

Let's say you have 10 images (say, 800x640) - you'd need to stick them in some sort of
array to allow you code to process an arbitrary number of images,

n = 20
ImageArray = bytarr(800,640,n)
.... here fill you image array....
GetImageMax, ImageArray, ImageMax

where the procedure is something like below:

PRO GetImageMax, ImageArray, $ ; Input
ImageMax ; Output

; -- Get some array info
Info = SIZE( ImageArray, /STRUCTURE )

; -- Is the image array 3-d?
IF ( Info.N_DIMENSIONS NE 3 ) THEN $
MESSAGE, 'Must pass in a 3-D array!'

; -- Determine the number of images
n_Images = Info.DIMENSIONS[2]

; -- Find the maximum
ImageMax = ImageArray[*,*,0]
FOR i = 1, n_Images-1 DO BEGIN
ImageMax = ImageMax > ImageArray[*,*,i]
ENDFOR

END

I'm sure other folks will post cleverer solutions that don't use loops.
