1, open the original material and copy the background layer. Let the "color scale" change the color tone of the picture first, press Ctrl+L to bring up the color scale panel, and click the straw with "white field" in the middle gray part of the water surface, so that the original gray picture will be much brighter; Then click the straw with "black field" on the dark gray part of the tile surface, so that the contrast is great and the picture is bright. Next, the color saturation is greatly reduced. Before that, I cut off the laundry crowd at the dock to preserve this part of the color and make the picture more active.
2. Copy a layer, select Menu Filter-Stylization-Find Edge to get a line drawing layer, and then select Menu Image-Adjust-Decolor to increase the contrast of the layer. The layer blending mode is set to overlay, and the opacity is set to 80%.
3. Copy another background layer and blur it. Select the "frame blur" mode here, and set the radius to 23 pixels; Using the splash command of brush strokes in the filter, the image shows the ink smudge effect of wet ink painting on rice paper. Here, the color spraying radius is set to 13, and the smoothness is set to 8. Set the layer blending mode to overlay, and the opacity is still 80%.
4. Find some branches to hang in the empty upper left corner to make the composition more balanced; The water is dotted with two canoes, and the flavor of the water town is stronger. It is an important link to adjust the ink color and the front and back levels of the picture. Coupled with a few wisps of mist floating from the original thick color in the lower right corner, the whole painting obviously came to life and completed the final effect.
