Well it's pretty easy but first let's keep this tip a secret, for you only.✨

First:
Open picsart and choose your background and the person you want to put on your cover, after this go to add photo and choose the picture of your background then go to effects and choose Lens blur and make the radius 80

(p.s: this will only work if the background has light but if it's dark that will probably not work so I'll tell you how to do it with dark backgrounds)

Second:

After you blurred the image change it's blending option (keep scrolling between them until you find the light you want, Hard light, Screen and lighten work the best) after this go to the eraser and erase the whole picture (just to make the process easier)
after this go to the brush and then make the brush's settings:

-Size: depends what on how much amount of light you want in the picture but the minimum size should be 22%
-Opacity: 100%
-Hardness: 0% 'cause that is the main thing

Then outline the person and you'll find that it seems like there's a light around him/her so that's so easy.

Also by adjusting and adding some filters this will make the picture way more good.

P.s: if the background doesn't have light you can easily add a picture that has light with the same color of background and if the light color isn't the same then you can easily adjust it by changing the picture's Hue.

Mistakes to avoid:

•Make sure when you choose the light that its color matches the background, I'll tell you some examples :

-If the background has Blue lighting or is Blue you can add Blue lighting with all of it's shades or Purple lighting.

-If the background has the color Orange it's preferred to add a yellow lighting.

-if it's Red then add a light red lighting or dark pink and so on.

-what I mean is choose the color of the lighting where it is a resultant from the color of the background (that needs a long explanation and i may make a chapter about colors soon)

•Make sure that the picture needs lighting I mean you can't add lighting to a matte dark background!that will look so bad.
