How to make a glow around a person/object?

I want to just have a glow behind someone. I know I could make a layer behind it, draw a soft line all the way around the object, and then blur it, but is there an easier way? Maybe something that could make an automatic outline of an object? Thanks in advanced.

Make your selection with one of the selection tools. I used the Magic Extractor
Place the selection on its own layer, and make the selection active (CTRL+left click the layer thumbnail) - should see marching ants
Go to Layer>Layer Styles>Style Settings
Check outer glow and set the parameters for the glow.
