Outer glow.

Add colored light around the outside edge of a graphic or title.

Three thin outlines acquire soft halos that follow their alpha edges. The treatment uses the Outer Glow layer style, independently of the underlying stroke. Circle geometry, colours, size, spread, range and animation remain editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Make an eight-second Strata halo study: three differently sized circular outlines in Sea, Sky and Sunset across a Charcoal field. Place a neutral white Exposure headline above and a small Denim Outer glow label below. After one second, animate each circle’s actual Outer Glow layer style from a crisp edge to a 48 px halo with a restrained breathing variation. Do not apply effects to the headline or substitute threshold-based Glow. Keep outline and style controls editable.

A few useful details.
