Which keyboard shortcut hides a mask?

• A. Ctrl + Click
• B. Alt + Click
• C. Cmd + Click
• D. Shift + Click

Answer: (D)

This hides the mask by temporarily disabling its effect on the layer. In Photoshop, you can toggle a layer mask on and off by Shift-clicking the mask thumbnail in the Layers panel. When you do this, the masking is ignored and you see the layer as if there were no mask, which is useful for quickly comparing masked versus unmasked results or troubleshooting how the mask changes the image. If you want the masked result again, shift-click the mask thumbnail once more to re-enable it. (The other actions listed perform different tasks, such as viewing the mask itself or creating selections from a layer, rather than simply hiding the mask.)
