Hello @Deleted User,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind pressing the Ctrl/Cmd + E keys to check if it helps? If the problem persists, kindly share more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/3RQMbVv) so we can investigate this further.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Everything's fine I just applied inner shadow effect on the photo in Illustator and forgot about it. However, there is a question why this effect is so uneven?
