How can I create a halo effect around an image in a photo? The actual photo is a single image.
Something like this example?
No. Actually looking for exactly the opposite. a glow of light around the perimeter of the object
...or you mean something like this:
BINGO!!!!

Ok lets go to steps:
1. With FREE HAND tool, carefully trace a line around the perimeter of the target (in my example, the rose).
2. Adjust the thickness of the outline according to your need.
3. Select the line you´ve created and press: CTRL + SHIFT + Q to convert it to an object.
4. Fill this new object with the color you wish (in my example above I used white color).
5. Now, with only the object selected, go to BITMAPS / Convert to Bitmap.
6. In the popup that opens, check Options and select TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND. Click OK.
7. Return to BITMAPS / Blur / Gaussian Blur.
8. Set your preferences for smoothing in "Radius" (slide sideways and look in the preview)
Ready. It´s done!
Thank You
