Hi!
i posted this question yesterday but no one had the answer and i think alot of people already went home for the day, so i would like to post it again. -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:

have you tried an inner glow?
- youll have to mess with the grays and opacities, but it might give you this effect.baseline_shift

yeah- the inner and outer glow don't work. i'm experimenting on a combo of layering gaussian blur and outer glow effects but i'm not getting the same look.
- i would be surprised if this was made in illi. why does it have to be in pshop?baseline_shift

baseline_shift is right. Type in grey. Sounds dumb, but when you blur there are less values to blur and it becomes darker and more crushed.

Why are you trying to create it in Illustrator?
- Leave blurs to Photoshop, aka the Blur Machine.monospaced

i have to add ".com" to a logo for overall usage in branding a company. the original blur was created in illustrator and used as some kind of opacity mask.
i agree that photoshop would work best and be so simple but i can't do that in this instance, unfortunately.
