The ink painting processing method in this tutorial is very simple. You only need to use the special blur in the blur filter to properly blur, then adjust the color, and then soften the layer appropriately.

1. Open the original image material and press Ctrl + J to copy the background layer. If the original image material is too messy, you can use the stamp tool to deal with it.

2. Execute: Filter > Blur > Special Blur, with a radius of 11.6 and a threshold of 73.9, as shown below.

3. Press Ctrl + J to duplicate another layer, change the layer blending mode to "Soft Light", then create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, appropriately enhance the saturation of the entire image, and set the value to 20. After confirming, create a Curves adjustment layer and make the whole thing a little brighter.

4. Merge all layers and execute: Image > Rotate Canvas > Flip Horizontally. After confirmation, select the text tool and add decorative text to complete the final effect.
