How to blur the edges without blurring a whole object ? I created an object I gave volume to using some filters. I want now to apply a "rough paper texture" filter to the center of this object. For that, I created a version of the initial object, suppressed the filters and shrank the path around. I then apply the "rough paper texture" to the shrunk version. I deleted the perimeter of the shrunk version. Nevertheless, when I overlap the shrunk version on the initial object, I can still see the sharp edges (difference between the shrunk version with rough paper texture and the clean plain filling of the original object). To integrate the shrunk rough object in the original object, I decide to blur the edges of the shrunk one using an ABC filter called "blur perimeter" (translation from French version of Inkscape). The problem is that on the small objects I created, this filter blurs the whole object, not only the edges. Thus I loose the "rough paper" texture... Any advice ?
