Outer Glow

The Outer Glow live effect creates a halo of color around objects or areas of color. You can control the effect with four settings: Size, Opacity, Noise, and Glow Color.

Applying Outer Glow to three objects: a bitmapped image, a rectangle with a gradient, and a text object.
The original objects (top); the objects with the live effect visible (bottom).
