I would like to ask or your help on how to achieve the same effect as the image I posted. (Ship covered with sugar grains)
Thanks in advance.

I don't know how your image was done, but if I were to do it, id do it like this:

1 - change it's saturation to 0 (black and white)

2 - use a curves layer to make shadows and overall brighter

3 - do some surface blur to get rid of unwanted texture

4 - add the "sugary" texture with some monochromatic uniform noise

5 - reduce the noise in dark areas so it doesn't look weird (done here with blending options)

6 - brighten up the reflection and reduce its saturation (here I also fixed some masking on the left side of the boat)

And done! Here is the .psd
