I love taking pictures of rust and then trying to make a better abstract image with different apps. My "go to" photo editing program is Photoshop Elements. It has filters you can use to alter the images you have taken them which is referred to as post-process. This is now your digital darkroom so to speak.. In this case I found rust on a light blue dumpster in downtown Greensboro. I took about 10 different images. After I did cropping, adjusting texture with sharpening I started playing with various filters. The image on the right was using the "Saturated Film" effect which makes this pop. You could even go futher but then it adds colors that were not what you saw in the original. The original image was taken with my iPhone 6s. So, I can still try to use more apps to change the effects like Prisma and Art Effects.. In PSE, you can invert an image to get different colors, or you can change colors by increasing or decreasing amounts of red, blue, and green for highlights, shadows, midtones, etc. You don't have to spend hours painting to get this effect.
