How to split a dot halo on a textured wine label from a lookalike
Fill-in grows the whole dot, with no clear ring. Name it wrong and the adjustment is wrong. Ease impression first. Do not add ink.

Name it wrong and you adjust the wrong place
A dark ring around the dot, light in the middle. Call it something else and you skip this step: ease impression first. Do not add ink. The wine name and the fine type decide whether the label can go. They do not decide what you call it.
