here is baby beckham and not so baby jaxon.
i think these two will be good friends in a couple years.
jax kept asking if beckham would "play cars"
it was so cute, he didn't understand that beckham is still too little.
Since blogger is being stupid, it will not let me write anything between pictures! i am not liking this new blogger at all! the little guy with brown hair is jax's new friend, gunner. and the little guy with blonde hair is jax's very best friend who he'd probably marry if he could, DAX!!
[[Jax loves friends!]]

Hey! Cute photos of all the kids! Friends are the best. :)
Clear skin... this is what works for me, but I am sure there are lots more ways to do it! I start out with desaturating red from the skin. So, click on the background layer and then click on the circle down at the bottom of the layer palette that is half white and half black. Click on hue and saturation. Then take your reds down like 20% depending on the picture.
Then, make background copy layer by dragging down your background layer onto the icon that is a box with a little box in the left bottom corner.
Then, go up to filter at the top of photoshop. Go down to Blur>s surface blur. I do the radius around 5 pixels and threshold around 10 levels. Play around with it!
Then, I end with Define and Sharpen from PW's Action Set 1. Sometimes it is too much, so I lessen the opacity on that layer. And sometimes add a layer mask to that layer and totally brush it off the face and skin. It depends on the photo.
Layer masking is easy! If you don't know how, just click on the layer you want the layer mask on. Then, click on the icon that is a box with a little circle in the middle. Then select your brush tool, or click b (That's the shortcut). Make sure the little boxes at the bottom of the tool palette are black in the front and white behind. You want to be using black when you want to "erase" and white when you want to "add" or bring back. So make sure the black is in front and brush it over the face and skin to make the surface blur show through a little bit or a lot. Where you have taken away or added the white box that is next to the picture in you layer will have a white mark or a black mark inside.
That's it! I usually do this after I have ran a few actions to get what I want with the picture. And this is the last thing I do.
Clear as mud?!?!?! It is so hard to explain without just showing you myself. Check out PW's blog for layer mask tutorial if I didn't make any sense!
Love all you do! You will even be BETTER with Photoshop now. you are amazing!
im so glad they had fun, we should get them together again soon.
