    Hello fellow designers.

    I know most/all/a lot of you use USB Keys to transfer work, send to an annoying printer, exchange files with a client. This is somewhat off topic because I know I can just go buy another USB key for a couple bucks but this is going to annoy me if I don't figure it out.

    I received a pair if USB Keys from my dealership after purchasing my 2008 Lancer. On said USB Key was a bunch of useless info on my car and some free space that I can do whatever I want on it.

    I tried getting rid of the useless information but I CANT And it's driving me up the wall!

    I tried formating it but it won't let me... Does anyone know of a "Force Format" Kind-of-thing? I'm on a Mac but if you give me a solution on a PC I shall love you all the same.

    Thanks

    Yeah, I've seen a few thumb drives like that, where the info can't be erased. Never found a solution.

              That is just like iPods and many other storage devices, it's like they have partitioned the drive into two. One that you can access, and other that you cannot.
              I don't know of a solution sorry.
              (but it does burn me that Apple gets to keep almost 2MB of my iPod for their stuff. I need that space for music!)

                    "I can type" clearly you can't.

                        2GB? Jeebus!

                        My iPod Touch doesn't even use close to that amount. 616MB for apps, 55GB for music, 225MB for other...

                            Yeah... 2GB is a lot? Are you exaggerating just a tad?

                              and 1 method requires a microwave.
                              Another requires a large, rare earth magnet.
                              The third requires fireworks/bottle rockets.

                                From what I understand, this version of vBulletin will work much better on a mobile device on its own without needing Tapatalk. I haven't tried this myself, but that's the rumor I hear.

                                The key you want is the grave accent key. It is the shortcut for Maximize or Restore Frame Under Cursor.

                                Yes, I see the contrast can be improved, thanks. I will try some more styles too, perhaps more minimal, or using lines/outlines instead of shapes. Any comments on the style, if in fact there is a style...

                                The other images that were provided, luckily, had their own clipping paths so they were not an issue. I've used this process numerous times before (which is why it was frustrating when it didn't work!),...

                                The curvature continuity "smoothness" of the shoe shapes needs to be cleaned up.

                                The problem you're facing is one I face all the time. The easiest solution is to create a clipping path in photoshop. You haven't missed any steps, it all starts because transparencies and spot colours...
