* Starter layer:
* Define several layers, output images and text to them and define
* particular layers to be visible when opening the document
*
* Define two layers for RGB or Grayscale images and two layers for English or
* German image captions. Output images and text on the various layers and
* open the document with the RGB images and English captions visible.
