In Illustrator, when I apply outer glow to an object, and set its blur to a given value, the outer glow's actual size appears to be at least twice as large.

The question has already been asked, but the accepted answer is really not what I'm looking for. I want something that measures the alpha value of every pixel, and turns that into a given colour.
