Works for linear & radial gradient, fill and stroke. Works, but the name changed to generic naming like layer1, layer2, layer3, etc. Clones are created as independent separated objects Works, but blur radius doesn’t seem editable, and has issue when the document is resized. Works for solid fill & stroke (sometime has line width issue) Ok lets summarize it as table for quick reference Path/shape if anyone has a better method, I'd love to know.Pattern doesn’t work.

I know that Inkscape can save as an EPS, it says PS 2, but I'm not sure which EPS version that is, does anyone know? Somehow I think my first method gets a better output. Play with the colors until you get the blur effect you are looking for.Īs for making an EPS, right now I usually export from Inkscape as a png to GIMP, then save as EPS (that method gets old fast though). Color each of the 4 shapes a different shade, then group them together, then apply the interpolation effect. Tip on interpolating: first get the shape you want (use path difference or whatever, but, it must be a path), then, you can use several colors to get the end result, I find 3 - 4 colors work the best. I'm trying to use this method but it takes a lot of time and not necessarily the outcome that I really want. however, you can interpolate the object(s) so they appear to be a bit blurry or mimic a gradient. If you are selling your works (esp on microstock as many of us do), you simply can't use the blur feature, sorry to say, no great workaround). Basically, there isn't a way to blur an object without it becoming rasterized.

Well, I'm certainly not an expert on this as I'm having the same issues.
