In this paper, we propose an automatic system for photo manipulation that brightens an image and alters the detail levels. The process first applies an edgepreserving abstraction process to an input image, then uses the residual to reintroduce and exaggerate details in areas near strong edges. At the same time, image regions further from strong edges are brightened. The final result is a lively mixture of abstraction and enhanced detail.Computing methodologies Nonphotorealistic renderingImage stylizationabstractiontexture indication10.1145/3092912.3092917
