.... i didn't find any other way than editing elevation for inland rivers manually .

Here is what i did ( if that can help...)

1 painted rivers on separate layer ( when making map_c)

2 saved as temp file and re-sized to map_h dimension ( 4x smaller)

3 pasted river layer in map_h.tga

4 applied color overlay and stroke effect ( 1-2pix out) for river layer so i had areas little wider than rivers

5 adjusted color (shade) to one rang of elevation present on map ( example. high mountains )

6 pasted river layer again , erased part that covers high mountains and applied same effect just with slightly darker shade ( to match medium high areas )

7 same thing for lower areas

8 manually edited elevation borders so i had gradually color change


so final result looks like this :
