Use the magic wand and a slight feather to select the sky and the ground respectively for exposure treatment, lifting the dark part, eliminating the gray texture of the building, the high light of the dark clouds. In the coordinated adjustment of the curve and saturation, it is necessary to look at the data in the grayscale distribution, so as to ensure that the picture looks comfortable.
