Using Layer Opacity to Validate (ft. JOSM)

Posted by Uyan on 23 February 2020 in English.

A quick but useful tip I found hidden in this video:

At around 24:00, the speaker notes the use of opacity: using multiple layers, and lowering the opacity of the front/uppermost layer to verify map alterations across different data sets (“data sets” being the layers themselves i.e. Bing, Esri, Maxar etc.). A tip I’ve already had good success with. I find lowering the opacity to around 70% works nicely.
