Step Six:
I’m not thrilled with how that backscreened black bar looks (“backscreening” is the term we use for a darkened area behind our type), so let’s change its
color from black to white. Since our Foreground color is currently set to black, all you have to do is press X to set it to white, so go ahead and do that now.
Now, even though we don’t have a selection around our black bar, we can still fill just the black bar with white by using a special keyboard shortcut: press
Option-Shift-Delete (PC: Alt-Shift-Backspace). That fills whatever is on your active layer with your Foreground color, which in our case, fills it with
white (as seen here). The text is still kinda hard to read (white type on a white transparent bar), but we can fix that easily.

Step Seven:
Our fix is to simply change the second line of type to black, so we’ll have black type over a white backscreened bar. Press D, again, to set your Foreground
color to black, and then we’re going to use that same keyboard shortcut you just learned—the one that fills anything on a layer with your Foreground color.
But, first, you have to tell Photoshop which layer you want to work on, so in the Layers panel, click on the Land of the Midnight Sun layer, then press
Option-Shift-Delete (PC: Alt-Shift-Backspace) to fill this Type layer with black.
