Show Page Numbers on Top of Background Image in InDesign

Page numbers on top of background image

While writing help files for my new set of Photoshop seamless tiling patterns, I came in following situation: page numbers does not appears, actually page numbers are hidden under background image on each page. To complicate situation little more, I am not using exactly same background image on each page. After searching for help I found solution: create new layer for page numbers and bring it to the top. Yes, that's solution, I did it. To help you solve this problem I created screenshots which can be very useful for most of users which will meet this problem for the first time but also and reminder in case you forget how it works (like me for example).

With Master page view active and new layer created (I will recommend you to name it: page numbers), you need to draw text frame on master page then go to: Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number.
layer page numbers with text frame and marker: current page number

Basically layer page numbers should be above layer on which lies background image and that's it. On screenshot below I named layer on which lies background image (selected) with name: content.
