When you are working with text in Photoshop, getting the text tool and highlighting the text allows you to do a number of things like change the color, size, or even the font. But the highlight on the text is like a halloween mask. It makes it difficult to see what the text looks like underneath.

Pressing Ctrl + H (Mac: Cmd + H) on your keyboard allows you to hide the highlight on the text, so you can clearly see what the effect will look like on your project as you apply it.

To see your text in a different font, first highlight your text, then highlight the font name in the Options Bar and press the arrow keys on your keyboard. If you take the extra step to hide the highlight on the text, you can clearly see how your text will appear on your project.
