Hi, I have a problem with my illustrator CC 2025. I have try to use the gaussian effect on vector object and when I apply multiply and adjusting the transparency, the effect changes.

 

Can you see the difference with the first image and the last? Once I play around with the transparency of multiply blending, the gaussian changes effect differently even I change back to the same setting as initial starting. 

 

Does anyone has this problem and solved them?

    @SharonJoSen I did the same steps and specs, mine went from a black to a grey about 75% k. It’s still blurry as heck!
