Hi all - can I ask about gaussian blur? I have a vector shape in illustrator that I want a blurred edge to. However it shows as VERY blocky and not smooth (see photo below) is there something I can do to make it look smoother?
I am sure years ago I had this and my colleague showed me a setting I could change - but my colleague is not here to ask!
Many thanks
MJ

I haven't rasterized it. So where is it that I set the Document Raster Effect?

gaussian blur is a raster effect. it is always rasterised.
set the document raster effects resolution in Effect > Document Raster Effects.

Gaussian Blur is a raster effect.
There are several places. for a new document use the Advanced settings
