Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects

[Howard Bornstein]

Scott,

I don't quite follow this. I made an oval graphic, set up a radial gradient
with both colors set to white and made the fill color clear (is this what
you mean by the inner color?—nothing shows at all if you set the opaque to
false). I got a radial gradient that covered the image, but I'm not sure
how you make that a mask that feathers the image. What blending ink did you
use? Are you using any graphic effects? What am I not understanding here?
