That looks better, but the size of the bar is probably bigger than we need. It’s easy to read the big Norway type, so we just need the black transparent bar to
be behind our Land of the Midnight Sun layer. This gives us a chance to use Free Transform, again (we looked at this feature in the previous project). In
the Layers panel, make sure your black bar layer is still active (just click on it if you’re not sure—it should be highlighted), then press Command-T (PC:
Ctrl-T) to put a bounding box around the black bar. To shrink its size, click on the top-center point and drag it downward until it’s just a little higher than
your Land of the Midnight Sun layer. Then, click on the bottom-center point and drag it up until the bar is just behind your second Type layer (as seen
here). When it looks good to you, just click anywhere outside the bounding box to lock in your transformation (you can also press Return [PC: Enter] or
click the checkmark icon up in the Options Bar. To cancel it, press the Esc key on your keyboard).
