[@JoanGonzalezTrolloCat]

I didn't know that there was a window dedicated to image tracing... all these years switching between limited default options like 3 colors, black and white logo, etc... man

[@AramShwany]

thank you so much

[@jorgesandoval6831]

same for new illustrator update ? I'm not able to remove the background as I used to do before after vectorizing

[@ny9113]

Next level tutorial video !! waw

[@RespectedSwams]

THANK GOD FOR THIS VIDEO

[@designbookInc]

Perfect! I already say perfect for this tuto?

[@riaz5964]

Thanks but how do we extract shapes after the trace, it appears in only 1 layer so how to distribute each shape into a separate layer?

[@LizatHome]

Thanks this is so helpful. Can I straighten lines that I have drawn a bit wobbly? I can't figure out how to do that after importing the image.

[@Stickermule]

You could try deleting some of the anchor points along the newly created path

[@LizatHome]

@@Stickermule Oh ok I will try that. I'm so new to illustrator, I've literally been only working on it for 3 days, so I have to research everything first. Thanks for answering.

[@Stickermule]

@@LizatHome no problem! :)

That's cool and helpful except I have no idea on where the expand and save button is.....

[@Stickermule]

You can get there by clicking Object > Expand. And save, by going File > Save As...

[@ellieknowler2735]

The panel doesnt appear when I try and do it. Just comes up with a box that says it might take a long time due to it being a large image

[@Foolfocker]

Is there a way not to create a white background after tou finish using Image Tracing? the original PNG have transparent background and I am not being able to keep it that way on illustrator

[@Stickermule]

Should be able to select the white background with direct select tool and then delete it.

[@imaniislander755]

thanks

[@Stickermule]

you're welcome

[@MauMenzori]

My Illustrator does not have that upper bar menu to finalize. So sad, I couldn't finish the tutorial.

[@NA7EFrame]

"Image Trace" isn't listed under the 'Window' tab.-- Am I missing something? Thanks!

[@harrybugarin6923]

If i have an all black image i traced and wanted to change the color to white how would i do that?

[@Stickermule]

Expand it first then change the color of the objects you want to change. You may need to delete a few objects as well.

[@harrybugarin6923]

@@Stickermule Thank you!

[@WeAreBeautiful24]

image trace isn't an option on mine, is mine too old?

[@daytime2150]

Mine just goes white. Everything disappears, it doesn't trace anything. I'm so confused. It's my own logo, but it's a font. I need an outline of it but I don't want to spend an hours tracing it by hand with point tool. I have tried this many times and it never forks for me. The entire image disappears.

[@ravenswood118]

No matter what I do, when I trace, my image just turns into a white block, even though that's not what it looked like in the preview. :(

[@ravenswood118]

I also don't have an "expand" button

[@18hyder]

@@ravenswood118 I'm getting a black box too. As for as to see the expand button, switch your workspace to Tracing

[@arkafella1984]

I dare you to try and replicate that result @0:07.

[@matthewecheverry6911]

I try this and when I tried to do it on the spotify logo for school, no matter what it was not the same shape. SO ANNOYING!!

[@joshuasnoddy]

Video now inaccurate and steps no longer followable in latest version of Illustrator

[@dreamburn1]

I don't have a GDMF expand button! I hate Illustrator so GDMF much I wish every UI engineer that has ever worked on that product would be forced to slide naked down splintered wooden poles.
