I am involved with a digitial painting project. when I "hide" a layer, there is a faint impression of that layer on the background. I searched the community and found previous incidences that suggested "turn of legacy compositing" as a solution. That was not checked as on .

any ideas?

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

When painting, are you smudging? Maybe in a new layer and have all layers selected and are accidentally painting some of the other layer into the new layer? Can we see a screen shot of your whole screen, including layers?

When you hide the layer, are you clicking the eyeball to turn off visibility or doing something else?

Like @Semaphoric said, it would be helpful to see one or more screenshots that include your canvas and your layers with the layer hidden and that layer visible.

There are a lot of possibilities for what could be happening--it could be the content on the hidden layer was used as a selection that altered pixels on the other layer, there could be a layer mask, you could be seeing content from a completely different layer, etc.

Can you post a screenshot of the image, including the Layers panel?
