You will need:
- a clean model png

Step 1

Open up a canvas and open up two layers. In the first layer, make a solid colour background and in the second layer open up your png.

Step 2

Step 2

Between the previous two layers, open up 3 blank layers. If you open layers as you go, you will have the same results.

Step 3

In layer 2, make a glow around the png.

For the brush, I used the 3rd Airbrush (trapezoid 20%).

The opacity must be at 100 and the size should allow for a very dispersed, spaced out glow. Mine isn't dispersed enough.

To soften the glow further, use Gaussian Blur under filters.
