Photoshopping Lino Prints!

I thought that I had finally learnt how to use the scanner at my sixth form, and I was soooo bloody wrong about that. I completely forgot how to scan an image in, in colour. So i spent about an hour scanning in so much work for it then to not even come out in colour... Smart move. 

So instead of letting everything go to waste, I tried to do some random odd bits with the Lino prints that I had scanned in.
First off, I tried to work over them with some little doodles, then I tried to collage them altogether and create a mish mash from all of the shades of greys that came in when I scanned them.
The weirdest thing that I tried was trying to do small random doodles over the top of them on Photoshop, now photoshop doesn`t agree with me at all and it didn`t even let me draw over my original picture in a colour. I`m not sure if i was pressing something wrong or if i didn`t select something before I tried to draw over the top.

The best thing I`ve managed to do involved great difficulty. I had to find the best looking Lino print, but it had to have less colour in the background; then I decided not to use bloody photoshop at all and I just began to use online photo editors to get everything done, It`s photogramio that I use normally; but to get the transparency I used Lunapic instead.
You basically just select the colour and Lunapic makes that colour transparent, which is quite simple and straight forward.
All I had to do then was make backgrounds that where the same size as my original image, wasn`t too difficult really. To be honest with you, it was all quite simple to do and none of it took to long, if anything it seemed so much easier from when I first started to do stuff like this in year 12.
If you want to see all of the Lino images that I out together then check them out on my Deviantart account: http://amywatkinson.deviantart.co.uk
