title: How to lower the opacity of the alpha layer in an svg filter?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a logo as an SVG. I exported the file from Illustrator. The logo has a drop shadow on it. I was looking through the XML and I found the filter node</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;filter  filterUnits="objectBoundingBox" width="200%" height="160%" x="-15%" y="-15%" id="AI_Shadow_2"&gt;
  &lt;feGaussianBlur  stdDeviation="2" result="blur" in="SourceAlpha"&gt;&lt;/feGaussianBlur&gt;
  &lt;feOffset  result="offsetBlurredAlpha" in="blur" dy="0" dx="0"&gt;&lt;/feOffset&gt;
  &lt;feMerge&gt;
      &lt;feMergeNode  in="offsetBlurredAlpha"&gt;&lt;/feMergeNode&gt;
      &lt;feMergeNode  in="SourceGraphic"&gt;&lt;/feMergeNode&gt;
  &lt;/feMerge&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to change the alpha of the offsetBlurredAlpha generated? I don't want it to start at pure black I want it to start at 50% black so that the shadow effect is light enough around the object. </p>
