Christy is correct the second is the correct way of masking. I already removed the 'old' form example from IM Examples when I dicovered it was broken, and a mis-use of the three image alpha composition. Getting back to your original problem... I still think it is posible to do 'double masking' with three image or masked, alpha composition, (probably using a inverted mask to limit the effect of the overlay) but have not had time to sit down and work ot the methodology. Currently I only give some examples the two step 'double masking' method in a couple of examples in the 'thumbnails' area of IM Examples.
