Can I apply an effect to the fill alone, instead of the fill and the border?

Hello!

 

I'm trying to apply an inner shadow effect to my rounded rectangle. I don't want the inner shadow to apply to the border, only to the fill. This is how it works in Photoshop, for better or worse.

 

I've fiddled around with the stroke and effect settings, but I cannot seem to achieve the goal, except by creating two objects and having one be the border, and the other be the fill.

 

Is there a way of having the effect only apply to the fill, so I don't need to manage two distinct objects?

 

Using 1.5.0.26 RC2 on Windows 10.

 

Cheers

Hi Arechsteiner,

 

You can achieve this by removing the Stroke you have on your shape and replacing it with the Outline effect. This should give the result you are looking for :)

Hi Callum

 

Thanks for your quick response on a late Friday afternoon.

 

Your workaround is a lot better than mine, although it still comes at the cost of losing the handy border settings and color picker, and the ease of having the border set on the object instead of having it hidden away in the effects. Maybe this could be considered as a possible improvement in the future?

 

Cheers and have a nice weekend
