Illustrator :: Outer Glow Effect Expands On Its Own After Saving
Nov 11, 2013
Since upgrading the AI CC (17.0.0), when applying an outer glow effect to objects, the effect sometimes expands its appearance involuntarily after saving and closing the file. The outcome is similar to selecting "expand appearance" from the Object menu.
When the saved file is reopened, the outer glow effect has become is its own object, grouped with the original shape. You can no longer adjust the effect in the Appearance panel.

I am using Illustrator CS5. I am trying to put an outer glow on text that I have done the 'create outlines' to. My settings are Normal color is white opacity is 90% and blur is 10mm. I hit OK and nothing shows up. If I change the color I use then I get the glow. The thing is I need the white glow. Can I not use white or am I missing something else?

I applied an outer glow to my objects in illustrator but it just won't display.
I've hit some kind of hotkey that turns raster effects off or something, but I dont even know where to start looking. I've used glows in the past and its always a bit wonky but now it just wont do anything.
I've been using spot colors, but have tried it without to no effect, and I run windows 8. I want to apply it to the compound shape hammer time, I thought maybe it was not working because of the compound shape so I tried getting rid of my inside shapes, but its not really changing.
I did just notice that there is a weird haze around the top hammer time on this image, but ONLY if you turn your head and look at the monitor from a strange angle can you really see it. So it might just be that I screwed up my glow settings here.
I'm trying to get the glow to be very strong for about half an inch and the fade out.

I want to put an outer glow round the policeman. I've been trying but I must be missing one important step. I can get a glow or shadow rounf the whole square frame ...... but I want it just around the figure.
I've tried uploading the image here .... but it keeps tellin me that my photo (which is only 45kb) and is called McFadden.jpg is not a valid file type. The photo is a plain white background with an image cut out of a policeman on it. I want to put the glow around the policeman.

I'm trying to make a thin outline around my text. I read that outer glow is the feature to use but I cant seem to make it work. Is outer glow the way to make outlines or is there a different way?

I want is to be able to Add some text to this logo.."CHAT!" at the end of SwankPets and add an outer glow to this text. However, the "layer style" option is always grayed out. I tried doing it on a separte file and then copy and pasting, but the Paste option gets grayed out too!

I'm trying to make a neat planet image for some hobby stuff I'm working on. I have an image (2048x1024) as a texture (from the program Fractal Terrains). I can render it into 3D using Shape3D (AWESOME plugin, btw).
Now I'm trying to add the inner and outer glow on the planet. I guess I'm not well enough versed in PDN to follow it exactly... my results aren't getting me where I want to be (yet, I know it works because others are praising the author).
Anyhow, here's the link to the original Glow tutorial. Here's an example of the type of effect I'm looking for -- the purplish halo around the planet.

I'm trying to implement some effects in C++ for my user interface controls. I've figured out that Photoshop Layer Styles uses an anti-aliased form of the Euclidean Distance Transform for "Precise" techniques (Inner Glow and Outer Glow).
But what is the method used for the "Softer" technique for Outer Glow and Inner Glow? It seems this is also used for the "Smooth" technique when computing the height map for Bevel and Emboss.

I am in the process of creating a flier and I am running into a problem with my type. In my head line I am attempting to use an outter glow but when I do I get a choppy distortion on my letters. It isn't all that aparent when I look at it in photoshop but when I export it to a pdf you can tell and it is really obvious when I print it. There has be no noise added to any of the effects applied to the type. In fact the only other effect applied to the type is a gradient overlay.
I am using photoshop cs6 on a mac running 10.6.8

I used an outer glow layer style to make a curvy gradient but it fades towards the edges of the canvas. Is there any way to get rid of the fade short of making the style larger than I need and then cropping it, or is there a better way to make a gradient like this?

What I mean by "Holy Grail" is that intense outer glow of crosses in religious illustrations but that looks natural in photographs. I am looking for technique, filter or third party plug in.
I have product photos to create this type of outer glow but I also want it to look natural.
I am looking for a fast, easy and adjustable way to do this -- if at all possible.

I'm created a photo of an alien boy being beamed down to someone's house in a cone of bright white light from a flying saucer, and I tried to use the "layer style" to create the glowing light effect in this cone of bright light - but somehow I'm not getting the "glow" effect that I got before. I'm stumped as to what I'm doing wrong/not doing right to produce the glow effect. In other words, the outer/inner glow effect no longer works. Can anyone please help me?

I thought maybe just a bevel with lighting and a gradient but nothing I tried came close. The edges seem more precise than anything I did and the creases in the letters, like near the top-right of the 'a' or the middle of the 'h', seem to have depth that an ordinary bevel doesn't create.

How can we recreate the below border effect (not the center content, but the outer border)? In particular, we'd like to recreate the effect whereby the border fades out half way up the content area, and there appears to be a slight gradient which also starts at the bottom and fades out half way up?

Once again 'Glow' lens effect is doing my head in. No matter what size or intensity I randomly dial in nothing happens.
I've gotten this to work before, but it has always been a random working/not working effect for me.
Do the spinners have any relation to model units or system unit scale? Or is it dependant on days of the week or something to do with the tides / moon?

After saving a CS6 AI document as CS5 version, and open it with CS6 again, effect like dropshadow has been expanded and no more editable.
You know, using Illustrator CS5 save document as CS4 version is just OK.
