  1. Transparency lost in Image Trace

    Transparency of .png images is lost if using the image trace option. So my already transparent picture now has a white background if I use image trace, unless I use sketched art which does not provide the look I want. All the options should be transparent, especially if the original file is already.

    Started (Available In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The latest Beta 28.7.0.45 finally offers transparency support.

    Transparent background is no longer traced as white in color presets '3 Colors', '6 Colors', '16 Colors', 'Low Fidelity Photo' and 'High Fidelity Photo'.

    Not (yet hopefully) supported for Black & White based presets.

    Partial transparency is not supported and will lead to incorrect colors for these regions. Overlapping path method will also result in incorrect object appearance.

    Note also this build introduced Logical Grouping of paths in output when expanded — to hopefully allow easier editing,

    Please try the build and provide feedback.

  2. Turn off Smooth Tool slider

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or I just don't know what I'm doing so apologies if this is no the right place to post.

    A few days ago I chose Object > Path > Smooth rather than using the Smooth tool as I normally do. A slider popped up which was actually rather useful. But now whenever I hold option to use the smooth tool (while using the Pencil), this slider dialog pops up directly over the area I am trying to see. Is there a way to turn this back off? Thanks!
