An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment The poor quality of the current Illustrator's image tracing is a constant source of frustration and anxiety among my fellow illustrators. I dread the day when my old Mac kicks the bucket and I lose the image trace superiority of CS5 AI. Must try that Photoshop trick (thanks guys!), maybe it saves my workflow and the signature illustration style me and my wife have depended on for 20+ years.

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator's image tracing used to produce perfect quality vector graphics from large and intricate line drawings. As professional illustrators me and my wife are pretty much depended on this feature and are dreading the day our older iMac ceases working (it runs the old illustrator) and we're left with the poor image tracing quality of the current Illustrator. Our career is built around a children's picture book series (20 books so far) and our spreads are loaded with hand drawn line work full of baroque-level amount of detail. Splitting the images to smaller bits for the image tracing to be able to handle the material is too clumsy and shoots our work flow in the leg. It's hard to comprehend why this basic function was reduced to what it is now. Please, please, please mend this! We can't be the only ones longing for this.
Jeff A Do you happen to know a ”magic button”, such as you mentioned you discovered for Photoshop, also for Illustrators’ Live trace? I would give my right arm and left leg to get the properly functioning good stuff back…
