Layers question

Newbie question.  When I have multiple layers, how do I see the net impact of a change when I am making the change to a layer that isn't the top layer.  It seems that Luminar does not show me the final-so-far image unless I switch to the top most layer.  So, when I am making edits to a layer that isn't the top most, I am switch back and forth and forth and back and etc.

Thanks,

Dave

  I usually just move the one to be edited to the top of the list if it makes a lot of difference.

  That is simple but I never thought of it.  Does changing the order of layers never change the final image?

  I usually move it back to the original stacking order. Never noticed a big change unless one of the layers was a luminosity mask.

  Hi Dave,

  Bill's right! You can drag adjustment layers up or down in the layer stack to generate new effects.

  I have similar issues. I do a sky replacement and then an adjustment layer to fix the overall look. If I go back to the image layer (the locked one), I no longer see the adjustments. It is a huge pain!
