THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@EndexPlay]

great!

Man alive thats a lot of effort to do something that should (In my opinion) be much more simple. Any idea how to do this with a very busy AI file with many, many layers please?

A much faster way to do the same method as this video is to use the mode *_'black and white'_* in image trace instead of colour/high fidelity. There's no need to make a million anchor points and paths of your .png when you only care about getting the outline stroke. Just adjust the *_threshold_* so the image is completely black, and the transparent part of the png is completely white. Way easier on your computer and the program, so much faster for you. just expand and ungroup and you can get your outline path. The idea of changing your stroke to central but doubling the width is really good.

I made a PNG like you have in the video but Illustrator does not mask it automatically. When I select "create mask" it makes a mask out of the boundaries of the original image and doesn't do anything with the individual elements of the PNG.

Thanks

[@irishdawn8387]

can you do this method for group photos?

[@hichemchalouche7722]

that's sounds like a lot of work

[@andre-ur6lf]

illustator is too complicated and not practical. so basically you have to retrace the image again? man its much simpler in photoshop
