# LOOKDEV Mode 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. {% hint style="warning" %} 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 ! {% endhint %} ### Comparison shots The screenshots below are coming from a landscape quickly textured in less than 10 minutes, to show how the LOOKDEV Mode can be helpful. ![Normal Mode](https://3422122786-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKy5lT5JIdDDFDRaA6D4d%2Fuploads%2FYkRNldb22e3B3VBjciTQ%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=1ef2198f-611a-4b29-ab31-8279984cc2a4) ![Lookdev Mode (and Unlit view)](https://3422122786-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKy5lT5JIdDDFDRaA6D4d%2Fuploads%2F8Cb2zaWNhQxoHiIu1lEX%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=907faea8-8763-48d1-8f9f-527f0cd694f2) ![Lookdev (and Unlit view) + focus on the first Sub-Layer.](https://3422122786-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKy5lT5JIdDDFDRaA6D4d%2Fuploads%2F5nQ5oNPm6tIkPlOYOd9O%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=9a059219-7454-4fd7-8500-a8df36d4037d) Notice the black spots that are where the Sub-Layer 2 Mask take place ! {% hint style="info" %} The colors of the LOOKDEV Masks can be changed in the Masks settings.
