Why are we using an extra layer here instead of simply masking the type? Take the mask from the top layer, invert it and apply to the type layer. Throw the top layer away...
That could work, but the way it is now actually has fewer steps, or least the same number. It goes to show there are often many ways to do the same thing in Photoshop!
No, adding a layer adds steps and size to the finished file and complexity to the project. This is a "way" to do something in Photoshop - no doubt about that - but it is definitely not a "good" way. Gotta wonder where they dredged this "expert" up from....
