Hello [USER=69670]@IamSam[/USER]

Thanks for the suggestions. Your explanations make a lot of sense.
The structure I have in my PSD file for layers 2 & 3, I got there following click-for-click a YouTube tutorial last year.

The result looks like this. As you can see.
1. The actual background is transparent (on a PNG exported file). It is not a hard color/or white in the PSD file.
2. The stroke/contour is thick, it’s not a real stroke. It’s essentially the difference in size between the blue elips and the cropped profile picture that is just slightly smaller and positioned in the center.

Following your methodology, how would I achieve a result where the image background is transparent like that with a thick stroke?
I think this effect is achieve which this sort of mask I have in layer 2 and that seems to be confusing you and [USER=112691]@thebestcpu[/USER]

Verification: What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
