[The mystery of Masking]

Hi Timo,

Just wanted to say a great big thank you for steering me in the right direction and diamond level of clarity with the instructions. For the first time in Affinity I've actually created a result that wasn't some sort of horrible compromise.

 

Your efforts and time are greatly appreciated.

[The mystery of Masking]

Hi Affinicianados,

I've been struggling with masks and layers and while the concept is clearly understandable, achieving this specific end result has defeated me. The image is two circles one large primary circle on top of a smaller secondary circle each with an outer semi transparent ring.

All of my efforts result in something that looks like a toppled over snowman with no outer ring. Any assistance on the approach to achieve the attached would be greatly appreciated. I tried googling double masking but a pandemic is the worst time to use that as the basis of a search.

Thanks in advance.
