I create an image layer in the tiled map editor, I place it on the map (I will use it as background) I get exported as json, I cannot use it in phaser3, but how to use it. I can use other layers, I can see them, but I can’t see the image layer and technically it shouldn’t be where I placed it in tiled, there is no problem in preload.

```js
const imageLayer = map.images[map.getImageIndex('Image Layer 1')];

console.log(imageLayer);

```

You can use the values in there.
