[split] Deleting hidden parts of layers - manas01 - 08-07-2020

Hi everyone!

I have a project with many layers, all somewhat overlapping. I would like to delete the parts of the layers that are "hidden" (not visible when looking at the overall image--areas of layers that are hidden under another layer). The purpose of this is to be able to move/combine layers freely, without worrying about the "hidden" parts of the layers becoming visible (which is undesirable). I want to avoid cleaning up the layers by hand (i.e. manually erasing the "hidden" parts of the layers)--I have over 100 layers and this would be painstaking and very time consuming.

Any suggestions?
