Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
Thanks. I get it now. I had used a black to white gradient, but white to white gives a better feather result. What do you have the blending ink set to?

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
Hi Howard: I was referring to the opacity of the inner color stop of the gradient. Use two colors in the radial gradient, such as white to white, and set the opacity of the color stop assigned to the inner color of the gradient to 0. The result looks like this: http://tactilemedia.com/download/gradient-feather.jpg You can also pull in the position of the outer color stop so you get more blending at the edge of the oval shape.

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
Scott, I don't quite follow this. I made an oval graphic, set up a radial gradient with both colors set to white and made the fill color clear (is this what you mean by the inner color?—nothing shows at all if you set the opaque to false). I got a radial gradient that covered the image, but I'm not sure how you make that a mask that feathers the image. What blending ink did you use? Are you using any graphic effects? What am I not understanding here? On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 11:03 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: > I'm guessing you guys want the final result to be rectangular and not > oval-shaped.

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
OK - given that an image is involved (I think I missed that bit) and assuming you are feathering to a solid background colour, the best result that I got was overlaying two identically sized transparent graphics with a one or two pixel white border and an outer glow. The second graphic has different parameters to the first and is needed to remove the hint of an edge of the image that shows though the first graphic’s glow. Terry...

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
I'm guessing you guys want the final result to be rectangular and not oval-shaped. That's too bad because you could use a radial gradient using a single color (i.e. white to white) in a graphic with the inner color set to 100% transparent -- this makes a near-perfect mask but only in oval shape.

When I set the blending ink to BlendScreen, the black graphic became completely transparent, regardless of the inner glow settings. FWIW, I was able to easily create a feathered image for an oval or circular feather with one graphic object. To do it for a rectangle, took 4 graphic objects.

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
OK, what about thisŠ Transparent (non opaque) graphic object with a 1 pixel linesize. Apply an outer glow - this will display equally on either side of the border. Then alter the border colour to match the glow where it adjoins the border. The border Œdisappears¹ but it may or may not simulate the effect you are looking for. Terry...

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
The way one *should* be able to do this is using the innerGlow effect. However, by itself, using the basic setting is not strong enough, and the spread effect is backwards (increases outward, rather than inward -- bug) so that's useless. You can achieve a feather effect using multiple objects stacked on top of each other, but then you have to ask is that worth doing. If you have to do anything with the set of objects, such as move it around or scale it, then the effect is probably too much trouble, especially on mobile. You can create a feather effect by grouping the source image with a mask image that contains a painted rectangular inner glow effect. If you set the centerRect of the mask image to appropriate dimensions (the radius of glow at each corner of the image), you can resize the group and keep the glow effect intact with no loss of quality. FYI, you can create a transparent graphic with innerGlow using an ink effect. For example, set the backColor of the graphic to black, apply a white innerGlow (255 opacity), and set the ink of the graphic to blendScreen. This will make all black in the graphic transparent while keeping the white intact. But again, the innerGlow is fairly weak.

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
Yes this is true and understood. However, I've been working with Brahmanathswami to find a solution for a transparent object because, as he says, "Any inner glow or outer glow leaves a sharp edge on the object no matter what we do." (with an opaque object) He was looking for a way to feather images within LC and an opaque graphic object won't do that (as far as I can tell).

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
You need to make the group with the object wider and taller than the object with the graphic effects in order to show the graphic effects “undisturbed”. You must also set the lockLoc (Lock size & position) of the group to true.

Re: Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects
I've seen clipping of graphic effects when the object with the effect is in a group. For example I had a round rect with a drop shadow with other objects placed inside it. When I grouped them, the drop shadow became clipped. I removed the drop shadow from the rect and applied it to the group instead - which, in my case, stopped the clipping. If you're unable to do that, perhaps extending the group's margin will prevent the effect from being clipped?
