Show or hide a layer, or fade the effect of a blur?
In the Parameters Panel, look for an option labeled Amount - this controls how much of the blended result of the layer is composited with the blend of the layers beneath it.
In other words, for a typical layer, this will 'fade it out'. For a Blur Layer set to "Straight", this will fade between the blurred version and the unblurred version of the canvas. If you want it to become less blurry, adjust the Blur Layer's 'size' parameter.
If you want to affect multiple layers at the same time, you have several options :
You can Group your layers and use the group's Amount,
Export one of the layers Amount and link others layer's Amount,
Linking all layer's Amount. Select the layers you want to affect in the Layers Panel, right click to Amount in the Parameters Panel and choose "Link".
"Rotate" a figure on herself
To rotate a figure (composed of several layers), we will use the Rotate Layer.
Start by group the layers of your figure to rotate.
Then add a Rotate Layer, with the handle position (green), center the layer rotation in the middle of the object.
Finally, group layer Rotate and the group of your figure.
Once grouped layers
The hierarchy of layers is implemented!
To do the rotation, select the layer "rotate" created earlier and use the (blue) angle handle.
To move the object (from left to right or up and down), use the primary group (the one at the top) with the handful of position.
