I have a couple of images (.tif file) on which I want to perform the following commands:

1. Import the image: img = Import["path/to/file/image01.tif"]

2. Remove the alpha channel: img=RemoveAlphaChannel[ColorConvert[img, "Grayscale"]]

3. Convert the imported image to data: rawImg=ImageData[img]

4. Finally, plot the mean of the image values in the vertical direction: ListPlot[Mean[grayRaw]]

As you can see, I am not asking for help about how to those manipulations on my image file. Let's say I have a bunch of 10 such images, and I am looking for the most promising ListPlot of those.

One way I can do this is to get these 4 commands into one cell, and just change the image file name (image01.tif, image02.tif etc.).

But I would like to ask whether any one here in the community can give me a more systematic way of doing the manipulations above with a Wolfram Package file (.wl file). I read that this is the "more" correct way for developing Mathematica code (other than .nb files).

What about writing a function for doing these manipulations? Is that a good idea?

Thanks a lot!
