The LOOKDEV mode allows to see only the masks and nothing else.
Useful to see what you are working on when there are a lot of masks used.
When in LOOKDEV Mode, you can click the eye icon next to a Sub-Layer to only show it in. The layers on top of it are subtracted from it so you can really see only what is visible on the final landscape.
Toggling the LOOKDEV mode only affects the Base/Sub-Layer of the main AUTO layer ! Manually painted Sub-Layers are not affected by the mode !

The screenshots below are coming from a landscape quickly textured in less than 10 minutes, to show how the LOOKDEV Mode can be helpful.

The colors of the LOOKDEV Masks can be changed in the Masks settings.
The Base Layer will always stay black.
If Focused, the Eye near the Sub-Layer will turn to the color of the LOOKDEV Mask Color.
Change the colors of the LOOKDEV Layer in the Mask Settings.
