Image trace has been ruined since 27.6.1.
Bring old image trace back. I cannot use it anymore. Default setting should be same as old, just some general 2 color trace. Default Image trace makes picture pink and very noisy and every preset is just some ugly artsy thing.

What happened to Image Trace? I started out on CS5 and have been using illustrator steadily since then and in the last few years the quality of image trace has gone downhill. Can this please be fixed?

I don't know what happened - but the new version isn't good. It used to work like a charm - now I don't know what it's doing - particularly when you expand. Additionally - when I tried to look for help - the instructions said vectorize the image in the objects panel - which is fine - but I couldn't find it and looked all over the place. Please take image trace back to the previous verison.

The new image trace sucks. Please return it to the previous version.
Here's an image that demonstrates the detail the image has lost.
The previous version would have worked like a charm.
I've played around with different settings and nothing is as good as the previous version.
Image trace is one of the main reasons I use Illustrator so this is not good. -

Try vectorizing the left image to get result on the right. New image trace.
In Illustrator 2022 it takes 2 clicks. -

The update to the Image Trace function has damaged its functionality. I am presently tracing some high-res b/w artwork. My workflow before the update was High Fidelity Photo > Black and White > adjust threshold if necessary > Abutting > Ignore White > Expand. The update took away the High Fidelity Photo preset and replaced it with options that do not trace worth a ****. I went back to the old version and will remain there until all of the previous presets are reinstated.

I even cannot delete these default presets I never use. My own preset move to last. It must be streamlined.
