Fill opacity and Clipping layer

Question

Hi,How to disable the impact of Fill Opacity on the Clipping Layer? I want to decrease the circle fill opacity (blue circle), but it also decreases the clipping layer (red) opacity. Is there a way to disable the impact of the main layer effects on the clipped layer?

Your answer is right there in your screenshot - On the clipped layer (bottom one) uncheck Blend Clipped Layers as Group.

Instead of using a clipping mask, make a layer mask. Here's how:Undo the clipping mask on the Red layer (Layer > Release Clipping Mask)Make sure that the Stroke layer style effect on the blue circle is set to OutsideLoad the selection of the Blue layer (Ctrl (Windows)/Command (macOS) + click on the thumbnail of the circle in the Layers panel) -- also, if the Stroke in step 2 is set to either Center or Inside, then go to Select > Modify > Contract... and enter the number of pixels needed to modify the selection)Select the Red layer and click the Add layer mask button at the bottom of the Layers panel (third from the left)Set the Blue layer to a 40% fill
