How to Hide the Top Layer in GIMP
Image manipulation programs, such as GIMP, allow the user to stack effects or images on top of one another using layers. These layers give the user the flexibility to work non-destructively, that is, to alter one layer without affecting the layer below it. Sometimes, a user may want to turn off the top layer to view or more conveniently manipulate the lower layers. You can toggle the visibility of this top layer by using the Visibility icon.
