I'm working with Inkscape 0.48 for Mac. I'm a newbie, no profession designer, but I do like working with Inkscape. The problem I have is with gradients. In the following image you can see 2 balls as a basic example of what I'm saying. The second one is the right one. So I make a gradient with the "gradient" tool on the left and then blur the gradient ( "fill and stroke" ) a little bit so that the ends don't look so "sharp". When I save the document in .svg there's no problem ( or even in .pdf ) but when it comes to .png for example ( the extension I really need ), the blur effect disappears, and the sharp gradient remains.
I'm very lost... If there's an explanation ( existing topic or whatever ) that could help me with this, please!

Thank you
