Hello, I found out if I draw a shape with a light color and make a above stroke only layer with a darker color I can almost make a inner glow effect. The problem is that there is an outer glow that is still present.

How do I remove the outer glow effect from a shape while keeping the inner glow? This is meant to give the appearance of depthed, beveled shapes in a non-destructive way. Thanks. Also if there is an alternative way let me know.

Hi, there are several ways/methods.

For starters, look at these videos.

https://www.google.com/search?q=inkscape+inner+glow&safe=active&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=vin&sxsrf=ALeKk023iI8W6mtJO1Xv460xsnvu3zt8Jg:1620698459151&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-18efxMDwAhWInOAKHZ-8BTQQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=360&bih=560#ip=1

I used a CLIP

1. Put the blurred glow object in behind the shape
2. Select the 2 objects
3. Go Object->Clip->Set
4. Select the shape and move it to the back 

                                    Before -> After

This can be undone with Object->Clip->Release

There is a blur called evanescent.

It applies an opacity gradient to the inner of the shape. You can then snap another colour identical shape behind to make a subtle glow.

I've done a yellow and orange one.

Just another option.

A drop shadow set to inner and negativ offset will do as well:

So after some manual searching, that would most likely be:

Menu->Filters->Blurs maybe?
Menu->Filters->Shadows and Glows->Drop Shadow

That's how this work on macOS:

Not my preferred choice, but in this case a quick solution is to select the background and blurred stroke objects, then right-click > Create Clip Group.

@PixelPest nice. On my PC it doesn't find either command in Inkscape 1.2-dev.  Nor does it locate the commands it does find in the menus. Although I did request that a while back.
