Preventing banding in backdrops

[Teann]

In your video 'Preventing banding in backdrops', you mention to "hide the layer" at 7:40 in the video. What is the keyboard selection for this. I cannot figure out how to change the gradient selection to a black box. Thank you!

[Damien Symonds]

Usually Ctrl I (for "Invert").

[Teann]

It still shows the selection in white when I do that. Did I miss a step?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Oh, sorry.  It's either Ctrl Backspace or Alt Backspace (depending on what your foreground colour is at the time).

[Teann]

Ah yep! That worked! Thank you!
