- After the outline of the circle has been formed, click Ctrl+D. This shortcut can remove the function of the Elliptical Marquee Tool.
- On that layer, select blending mode > color. Thus, the black dot remains visible.
- Create another new layer, then create a smaller circle. The trick is the same as above.
