You have two options for your tracing method: “Method” is a new addition in CS6, and it’s a great to have when tracing simpler images. You can see in the image below that the higher value does not pick up many of the seeds on the strawberry. The higher the number, the more areas will be ignored, and the simpler the image. The lower the number, the less pixels needed, so the more detailed (or noisy) the trace. This is minimum number of pixels needed for an area to be included in the tracing. A lower value means less corners, and more sharp curves. A higher value means the tracing will have more sharp corner. This slider decides when a sharp corner will be turned into a corner anchor point in your output image. Take a look at this closeup of our strawberry. A lower value can deliver a smoother, yet less accurate result, while a higher value delivers a more accurate, but often choppy result. A lower value means less pixel variation (a tighter fit), and a higher value means more variation (a looser fit). This feature lets you adjust how close the traced image paths get to the original pixels of the image. The advanced settings are an extended set of features that you can use to have even more control over your traced image. The higher the threshold, the darker the overall image, and vice versa. When you are setting the threshold value you are assigning all pixels lighter than the threshold to white, and all pixels darker than the threshold to black. Fewer colors means a more flat, simple image. The more colors, the more depth, and detail in the tracing. The colors slider is a straightforward tool for setting the number of colors you want to have in the final traced image.If your output is black and white, then you will see “Threshold” slider. If your output is in color, then you will see the “Colors” slider. Document Library: Want your final image to have a different color palette than the source image? This allows you to import a custom color library for more control.Better for photographs and images with many different colors.

Full Tone: Uses a wide range of colors sampled from the image being traced.Limited: Traces using a smaller, adjustable, palette of colors sampled from the image.Automatic: Automatically samples colors based on the image being traced, and switches between limited/full tone depending on the number of colors.“Palette” lets you decide how the colors will be chosen for the traced image. “Mode” lets you easily toggle between color, black and white and grayscale settings. This lets you monitor the accuracy of the trace. “View” allows you to toggle between a few different options for how you see the results of your image trace. The Preset pulldown menu (below the icons) contains more options for popular automated tracing settings: View It’s best used for simple images, hand drawn type, etc. This setting is a little tricky, and results can be varied with photographs. Outline: Traces the image using outlines, rather than fills.Black and White: Traces the image using only black and white.Grayscale: Traces the image using black, white, and an adjustable number of grays.Low Color: Traces the image using a high number of colors, creating an image that is more detailed, but not photorealistic.High Color: Traces the image using a very high number of colors and detail, creating a photorealistic vector image.Creates a more flat image with fewer colors. Auto Color: Traces the image using a smaller specified number of colors that can be adjusted.These icons correspond to the Preset settings that are popular for tracing a pixel-based image.

PresetsĪt the top of the Image Trace Panel you will see a series of icons. These are the basic set of tools that you can use to control the output of your trace. Here is a breakdown of the functionality of the different features of the Image Trace Panel, and examples of the settings at work. It’s a quick and useful tool, and Adobe has added some very interesting updates with CS6.
