I went hiking with my neighbor Jim Glassley.  One of Jim&#8217;s interests is observing wild flowers.  Whenever he found a rare wild flower, he stopped and took a note.  Then something terrible happened around noon.  Somebody just shouted &#8220;Bear!&#8221;  In the next minute, a bear was chasing Jim.  I didn&#8217;t know what to do at first.  But I had an idea.  You know?  I pulled MacBook out of my backpack.  In 3 minutes or less, I designed a big net enough to cover the bear.  I just threw the net towards the bear.  And I caught him.  I can proudly say that Jim is alive today because of my heroic act.  If I had not acted quickly and wisely, the bear might have clawed him in the back.<\/p>\n<p>The following tutorial shows easy steps to design a black net big enough to cover a bear, using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
