How do you hide the original layer in Pixlr to see the effect you've created?

In Pixlr, hiding the original layer to view the effects you've created is accomplished by clicking on the eye icon next to the layer. The eye icon visually represents the visibility status of that layer; when it is clicked, it toggles the layer's visibility off, allowing you to see only the layers that are still visible. This is particularly useful when you want to assess changes or effects without the clutter of the original image.

The other methods mentioned do not perform the desired action of hiding the layer. The lock icon pertains to protecting the layer from modifications rather than controlling its visibility. Right-clicking usually presents options related to layer management but does not directly provide an option specifically labeled as 'Hide' in all versions of Pixlr. Double-clicking a layer typically opens its properties for editing, rather than toggling its visibility. Thus, the eye icon is the most direct and effective way to manage layer visibility in Pixlr.
