Great tutorial, thank you! I am wondering, why sometimes Image Trace doesn't work out well? I get many customers who don't have vectorized logos, but I struggle to understand why some logos (usually more detailed) become blurry, letters become rounded/blended and doesnt trace well? Is it down to the png/jpeg resolution? Or is the problem with me not having enough skills to image trace it properly? I end up rebuilding their logo from scratch, is that common I wonder?
@MikePickettDesignCo
5 ай бұрын
This is actually pretty common, especially when working with a logo or image that is highly detailed. While experience with the tool can help a little, I find that if I have to spend more than 15 or 20 minutes playing around with settings, it’s best to just remake the file.

Thanks! White logos were something I've never tried so I played around with this today. The only way I could get it to work was to save the white png version of the logo with a background color, light grey, blue, pink...whatever - and then pull that file back in to Illustrator and use the Image trace. Once you have something behind the white you'll be able to play with the sliders, mainly threshold, and will be able to pull the white logo off the background.

It’s not a simple answer, there are a number of reasons this could occur. It might be the source file, settings in the export, setting used in the trace…without testing the file from scratch the only option would be to try some changes in these things and see if you get a different outcome.

I tried to edit them, exactly as you told me, yeah it came out as bats with sharper angles, but not completely sharper. there were places where ears were dissappeared, there were some round angles, and etc. I'm confused, because the image I used was an black and white illustration, I don't understand, why is it that hard for illustrator to trace it exact same shape
