I want to have blurred shape for example lume behind a hand on a separate layer so that I can turn it on and off.
I make the shape blurred and make the background transparent and save. I import it into facer and the result is garbage.
Can someone give me a hint on how to make a successful blur - please
A lot of that depends on the image editing software you are using. I can do blurs with Paint (dot) net and they turn out fine.
I haven’t mastered blur and glow effects, but here some links:
I have paint dot net but have not really used it - it seems I have to look into now. Its been mentioned in a few posts recently and with regard to your comment it seem it will worth it.
Thanks for the links - I’ll take a look

I must be the Luckiest Duck on the Planet . There is no way I can make a blur from anything I use for drawing normally . That is because I only ever drew stuff for CNC machining and 3D Printing . Some one gave me a Very old copy of PS ( Photo Shop ) and to be honest that is the only thing I use it for . I make a White copy of the Shadow Shape I want and Apply a little Gaussian Blur on them . I have Found I only need a little . As was mentioned apply them Below hands and above LEDS . I then Tint them and vary the opacity till they look good . I usually offset them -2 pixels X and Y because I am Fond of the 3/4 lighting that Facer and my CAD use by default . Most Decent Graphics packages have a Gaussian Blur Setting . It is as with everything finding it . It is well worth the effort . When you have Mastered It you will be Very Pleased .
Thanks for this - i don’t have PS but I see that paint dot net does - also thanks for the placement hints
Let us know how you get on . There are many using Paint dot net . If you get stuck some one will Make a Screen Grab .
Will do…
