I want to experiment doing some merged (2 photoshop layers) imaging using my M6ii and my M100 mounted on a rail on a tripod. I know the angles will be off by a bit but I’m going to try to minimize that as much as possible by keeping the cameras close together on the rail.

The reason I need two cameras for this is because one is IR (M100), and I want to mask out some parts of the IR with overlaid regular spectrum image of the M6ii. I will be using the EFM22 on one and the EFM11-22 on the other.

Is there a way to limit the M6ii resolution down to 24MP without having to mess around with different focal lengths and then cropping so that it will match the M100 resolution for later layer stacking?

I look forward to your thoughts or other ideas.

Not at the taking stage.  You could resample the RAW M6II image to 24MP and export it as a 16 bit TIFF to maximise image quality.  You'll have to experiment with the exact scale of resampling as it's unlikely that the 22mm lens will match the focal length of the 22mm end of the zoom at the pixel level, even without the difference due to parallax.  Interesting project.
