I'm trying to recreate a blur effect in illustrator. the regular gaussian blur doesn't work. i need it to look more dark and crushed, like this (hopefully this link works):[URL=http://img527.imageshack.us...

Tali, it's called Photoshop. Repeat after me, Photo and the Shop. Photoshop. now you get on tiger and try that out...

gaussian blur or outer glow then reduce your opacity

actually its a vector image i received from a client. that image i posted is a screen capture from illustrator. i know how to make that look in photoshop but not in illustrator.

if that has been done in illustrator I would hazard a guess at it being a 'gradient mesh', also known as 'world of pain to the uninitiated'

yes and the smart designer would rasterize the grad-mesh vectors or vector effects b4 sending the file off for jobs, so might as well just do it in PS.

i can't create it in photoshop because i need to use it as an opacity mask on a logo.

the outer glow isn't really working, any other suggestions?
- inner glow with a dark color set on multiplybaseline_shift

w/the vector object selected...

the regular gaussian blur doesn't work. it doesn't give me that crushed look i need. gaussian blurs 50% into the black and i need all the blur to bleed into the white area.

try an inner glow with black set on multiply
