Gen AI Assisted Live Trace
So far, Gen AI in illustrator is just a fresh coat of paint on live trace, a raster query and then just live trace.
Where it would help immensely, is if you could direct AI to clean up live trace results.
My use case is I'm doing a lofi photo trace, of a contrasted, shaded image, white over red. By default, the edges of the white area are noisy and Illustrator adds several shades for this area. What I'd like to be able to do is prompt AI to "simplify white edges" or "trace behind white areas", to enhance the quality of the live trace.
The work around, is that I have to take my source image, create a mask of the white area and expand the shaded fill white area. From here I have to do 3 separate live traces to obtain appropriate results.

Indeed.
The team has been exploring this topic and intends to do something like this hopefully.
Can you please share several images you try to trace?
