Hiding a Layer

                  Hiding a layer means to make the layer temporarily invisible. When a layer is hidden, its content
                  is also hidden from the view. To hide a layer, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1     Select a layer which you want to hide.

                  Step 2     Click on the Eye icon of the layer. The Eye icon disappears from layer.

                  To make the hidden layer visible, again click on the place of Eye icon on the layer. Layer gets
                  visible.
                  Flattening Layers

                  You can combine all the layers of an image to make one layer by
                  flattening layers.

                  To flatten layers, perform the following steps:
                  Step 1     Right-click anywhere in the Layers palette.
                             A pop-up menu appears.
                  Step 2     Select the  Flatten Image option.  All the
                             layers are combined into one layer named
                             Desert.  You  can  unflatten  the  layers by
                             pressing the Ctrl + Z keys.

                                                                                                    Flattening layers
