Active Relief Layer
Click the Active Relief
Layer 
button on the 3D View toolbar to create a
preview image of the active relief layer. This is similar to a greyscale image,
but the default colours used are shades of brown and yellow.
You can change the colours used in a relief layer preview using
the Options panel. The availability of this
feature is license dependent.

button on the 2D View toolbar to view the

layer.
