I'm tyring to apply a feather to a path, but I only one it applied on one area of the path.

I tried using the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the anchors I wanted it applied around, that didn't help.

Is there a way to apply a feather (Effects → Stylize → Feather) to only one part of a path?


This is just an example, not the actual paths I'm using

I want the area in the dashed red line, to gradually fade in (using a feather was my initial thought)

  • Any chance you could show what you are actually trying to achieve with such an effect? There may be a different way to approach it entirely

Unfortunately no. There is no method to apply any effect to a portion of an object. The Effect will pretty much always alter the entire object.

Using a gradient would probably be your best bet. Or an Opacity Mask.

Not sure if this helps, but InDesign has an effect called 'Directional Feather', which can basicly feather an object from 4 sides independently.
