Gaussian Blur in Illustrator CC Problem
Gaussian Blur in Illustrator CC Problem
Question
I am using Gaussian Blur in Illustrator CC. However, parts of the glow are outside of the line art. How can I delete those parts?
Before I applied the blur on that layer (solid color) i could easily delete parts of it, after the blur I cannot.
You can see in the image here - for example the blue hands - you can see part of the blur (shadow) outside the hand. I need to delete only that

You can use a clipping mask.
Here I have 2 shapes. The bottom shape has the blur.
Select both shapes and go to Object -> Clipping Mask -> Make
In your case you would need to make a duplicate of the shape that will clip the blur layer.
