5. Notice that the selected horse now becomes a new layer. Notice an eye icon on the left of the new horse layer. And the background layer doesnt. this means that the upper layer is enabled and is visible and the background is not. Now disable the upper layer by clicking the eye icon and making it disappear. Click on the background and make that visible. It should look like the image below. And background later sill locked
