Imagine I have a black disc. I would like to create a gradient around the disc, whose value is white 100% opacity on the border of the disc and white 0% opacity at the end of the gradient.

Now, replace the disc with any other object : I want to do something similar.

Is it possible ?

    Do you mean an outer glow?

  • Yes, the effect is quite good. Do you know if there would be other way to do it ?

  • Other than with the "outer glow" method. I am totally satisfied by the result and so I wanted to know if there is another way to do it.

  • You can try abusing the drop shadow tool or build an offset shape with a gradient or gradient mesh. There is always another way. But it's really just experimenting.

If you want to fade your object into another colour or background, you can use the Feather tool.

Go to Effect > Stylize > Feather and then play around with the distance, opacity and transparency until you're happy with the result.

Hope this helps.
