When we create a shape, there will be fill and stroke. We can set the color, gradient, opacity of fill of shape.

But is it possible to make this fill blur? Like glass? thanks.

Add a glass layer style to your your Shape layer.

You could do this:

Make a duplicate of the layer you wish to apply the blur to. Add your shape between them, and be sure it has a solid fill. Select the duplicate layer, and Alt+Ctrl+G to create a clipping group with the shape. Blur the duplicate layer; if you make it a Smart Object first, you can change the amount of blur later.

Now if the Shape layer is selected, you can use the move tool to reposition it, and the blur will follow:

-Select the area you want blurred.

-Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur

-Adjust the sliders as needed.

Hi @Leslie Moak Murray , what i mean is like this picture:

i have an image, i want to add a shape layer with blurred transparancy. For now, as what i know i should created compleks layers. Is it possible to just create the "fill" of shape layer "blurred transparency".

Yes, but the shape must be rasterized first. You select the shape layer, then go Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Before it does anything, it will ask you if you want to rasterize the shape (and it tells you you can't apply the blur if you don't do that). Is there some reason the blur has to be a shape?

Layer Styles should do what you are after, but if you can show us an example we can give you a better answer.

I just want to create a "fill blur" like picture. I should create too much layer.

Another way would be, after making the shape and applying a stroke, you could add a layer mask with gray over the shape but nott the stroke. The darker the gray in the mask the less opaque the shape will be. Like this:
