Hi, 

I've searched the forum, Google and YouTube but am unable to find a solution. I have attached a graphic below. I want to work out how you get the silver ring to look as though it goes through the hole, so the bottom section (of the ring) looks as though it is behind the fob.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

0. Make sure everything is converted to curves.

1. Copy the fob and hide it.

2. Select the ring and the fob.

3. Use the Divide button from the top toolbar.

4. Delete the bottom of the ring and the divided fob parts.

5. Show hidden fob.

6. Done.

Maybe there are easier ways ...

Hi, @Pablo13

Or other solution:

Mark the layer with the ring. In the layer panel click on the mask layer icon image.png.2bda1a943d4d92546ec7c2984694e77c.png

Now click the pixel persona icon image.png.04445d70b5ebb606d6978d84cd1c3545.png and choose the paint brush. Now you can mask out the gap with black colour.

Brilliant, that's exactly what I needed. Many thanks!

I would use the Donut tool to make the ring, Have an open one on top and a closed one below. Different colours to show how, obviously they would be the same colour.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
