Following Use Feathering to Accentuate the Area of Interest in Your Map , I have a feature class with attributes like this. What I did was follow Use Feathering to Accentuate the Area of Interest in Your Map , then add "ZPAR" with the values in the opposite order:


Because what I want is the opposite of Use Feathering to Accentuate the Area of Interest in Your Map , I want the INNER ring to be 100% transparent, and the OUTER ring to be 100% solid.

Or here

I always get, 100% of the time, a feathered ring mask where the outer ring is transparent and the inner solid, opposite of what I need.

Is there a bug in Pro regarding transparency, or is there another hidden button I'm missing?
