Missing Image Trace

I am trying to turn a drawing into vector art. I have scanned the drawing and opened it in Photoshop CS6. After looking on the web one option was to use Image Trace, but my Photoshop doesn't appear to have any panel / tool / window labeled 'Image Trace'. This is what I have available under the 'Window' tab. Is Image Trace an extension I need to download? If so where can I find it?

Image Trace is an Illustrator function.

  • Missing Image Trace Plugin in Illustrator CC?

    The Image Trace feature is missing in my subscription version of Adobe Illustrator CC. The words appear in the dropdown menu, but the flyout menu does not list the usual functions, and the few that it does list are greyed out.

  • Connect missing lines in image trace

    I am teaching myself Illustrator and I came across the image trace feature in CS6. I am able to to copy my drawing and do the image trace feature, but I am having trouble connecting missing lines to do a color fill without selecting the background area.
    Now, I may sound dumb, so please forgive me, but is there a way to connect missing lines using the image trace, or pen feature, that will allow me to select a specific area and do a color fill with selecting the background as well?

    To upload an image, click on the camera icon in the toolbar for this forum.
    The direct selection tool will select all points if you click on the object. But you can click on a single point, shift select other points or drag select. If there is another object below the object you want to edit, use the move tool and double click on the object to put in isolation mode. In that mode only that object is editable.(click the gray bar above to get out of isolation mode or press escape key)
    When using the direct selection tool make sure there is not a plus side of the cursor, if there is that's the wrong tool. (just press the lowercase a on keyboard)
    To join to end points(they must be end points and only two points are allowed at a time)
    Use the direct selection tool (lowercase a)
    Select one point
    Hold shift and select second point
    Object>Path>Join (ctrl-j on windows and cmd-j on mac) or if you have a two button mouse you can right click and choose join from the menu.

  • Since applying Feb 2013 Sharepoint 2010 CUs - Critical event log entries for Blob cache and missing images

    Hi,
    Since applying the February 2013 SharePoint 2010 updates, we are getting lots of entries in our event logs along the following:
    Content Management     Publishing Cache         
    5538     Critical 
    An error occurred in the blob cache.  The exception message was 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)’
    In pretty much all of these cases the image/ file in question that is reported in the ULS logs as missing is not actually in the collaboration site, master page / html etc so the fix needs to go back to the site owner to make the correction to avoid
    the 404 (if they make it!). This has only started happening, I believe since feb 2013 sp2010 cumulative updates updates
    I didn’t see this mentioned as a change / in the Fix list of the February updates. i.e. it flags up a critical error in our event logs. So with a lot of sites and a lot of missing images your event log can quickly fill up.
    Obviously you can suppress them in the monitoring -> web content management ->publishing cache = none & none which is not ideal.
    So my question is... are others seeing this and was a change made by Microsoft to flag a 404 missing image / file up a critical error in event log when blob cache is enabled?
    If i log this with MS they will just say, you need to fix it up the missing files in the site but would be nice to know this had changed prior! I also deleted and recreated the blob cache and this made no diffference
    thanks

    I'm facing the same error on our SharePoint 2013 farm. We are on Aug 2013 CU and if the Dec CU (which is supposed to be the latest) doesn't solve it then what else could be done.
    Some users started getting the message "Server is busy now try again later" with a corelation id. I looked up ULS with that corelation id and found these two errors in addition to hundreds of "Micro Trace Tags (none)" and "forced
    due to logging gap":
    "GetFileFromUrl: FileNotFoundException when attempting get file Url /favicon.ico The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"
    "Error in blob cache. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"
    "Unable to cache URL /FAVICON.ICO.  File was not found" 
    Looks like this is a bug and MS hasn't fixed it in Dec CU..

  • How to exclude transparent areas in Image Trace

    I have a logo file, saved as PNG, that is black on transparent.  Very simple file, just stylized black lettering on a transparent background. In Illustrator CS5, I can place that file, do a "Live Trace" in "Lettering" mode, and Illustrator will correctly ignore the transparent areas when I expand the trace.  After expanding, I'm left with scalable paths and an easy way to change the fill color to have the logo work with my background.
    Fast forward to Illustrator CS6.  I try to do the same thing but a) there is no "lettering" preset for Image Trace and b) there is no setting I have yet found to cause Illustrator to ignore the transparent areas when I expand.  If I then fill, everything inside the bounds of the placed image (the square containing the logo) is filled with that color.  The only way I've found to get similar results is to go through the layers panel after the Expand and deselect each piece of the image that should not be filled.  I have a hard time believing this is the desired approach.
    I freely admit that I'm an Illustrator novice and I suspect that there is something one of you Illustrator experts thinks is obvious that I'm missing.  I'd sure appreciate some guidance in the right direction.

    I doubt that the Trace feature in CS 6 is a big improvement to CS 5
    Here look what might help you with this you might even be able to do a better job in Photoshop.
    I'm using your screen shot so the trace is not a good one but shows you the steps you can take to make this work better.
    Even though it is an image you can edit the colors some what here I went to Edit>Edit Colors>Adjust Color Balance ad turn the Cyan down to "0" and move the black slide a bit higher as well.
    The I did my trace and remove the clipping paths there are 2 clipping paths the way you remove the path and compund path for the square is to select one edge of the psth with the direct select tool, you need smark guides turned on to see the paths.
    the hit delete and the hit delete again and repeat for the second compound path as such path willpreven the sqaure to becoming a background filled path.
    It should be noproblem filling this without a Live Paint Group it is just that you are not familiar with what is happening to the art.

  • Is there a way to create a report of topics with missing images?

    If I move all images in a project to a different directory,
    is there a way to print out which topics have missing images?
    I would like to have all images in the HTMLHelp folder, since
    this is the default folder that images are copied to when I insert
    them from another source folder. If I move all images from my
    "Images" folder to the HTMLHelp folder, is there a way to generate
    a report that lists all topics with missing images?
    Normally, I've been using the "Images" report to determine
    which topics used that image before I moved them, but I'd like a
    report that denotes which topics are missing images, period.
    thanks in advance,
    ChristyG

    Hi ChristyG
    As long as you only move the images within the RoboHelp
    project, none should go missing!
    Unfortunately, I don't believe you have an easy report at
    your disposal that will advise which topics contain missing images.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

    I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?  Help!

    If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
    If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

  • Problem with Image Trace

    Ok so I used Image Trace on a .jpeg logo. The logo is black rectangle with white text in it. My problem is that when I traced it, the black space became the object and the letters are negative space. Is there a way to turn the letters into objects?

    make sure "ignore white" is not selected in the tracing options.

  • Where is the "threshold" setting for Image Trace in Illustrator CC 18.1.0?

    I'm using IIlustrator CC 18.1.0 and when I use Image Trace the "threshold" slider is gone. This was actually the single most important adjustment for this tool. Is it hidden somewhere? I attached a screen shoot of my Image Trace window...

  • Action batch export issue with image trace

    So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge.  Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that.  I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence.  If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors.  Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
    Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
    While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
    Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
    THANKS!

    Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround.  Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences.  When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming).  This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes.  Not sure why this works, but it does.
    Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command.  I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
    Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

  • Image Trace, high resolution

    What are some tips for getting a clean (high definition, full color) Image Trace on a photo?

    Like Monika said.  But use the image trace panel in the windows tab.  There are advanced features that you can adjust and tweak to your liking.  Image trace tends to be specific to the photo so you'll need to play around a little bit to get the desired effect you want.  

  • Illustrator Image Trace doesn't work with large images

    Illustrator's Image Trace doesn't seem to work at all with large images.  The attached image shows the following:
    A) The original raster cropped tightly.
    B) Converting the raster with default "Black and White Logo" settings.  Results in 242 paths and 4792 anchors.
    C) Adding a massive amount of white space and then converting the raster with default "Black and White Logo" settings.  Results in 407 paths and 1620 anchors.
    For whatever reason Illustrator can't seem to handle large images.  This test shows it's not an issue with the image being too complex since all I've done is add white space and the file was saved without compression so there should be no noise.
    This type of glitch started with CS6 with the new Image Trace tool.  Is there a fix for this?  Maybe setting Image Trace into legacy mode?

    Moving to Illustrator forum.

  • Missing images in Word Document

    I am having a problem with some missing images when I
    generate a Word document from RoboHelp HTML. I have seen similar
    problems in these forums and have tried the solutions without
    success. I have Word 2002 SP3. I have images in my document that
    have conditional tags applied to them. Up until now, I have not had
    any trouble with them generating in Word. I added some more images
    (using RH to import them into my doc) and I set up the conditional
    tags to print those and not the others. In some cases, the images
    are generated and in others they are not. There is no X in its
    place just a blank line. I have tried erasing the .CPD file and
    re-generating. I have tried removing and re-inserting the image.
    Also, if I generate the html web help, the images are all there. No
    problem. I have tried embedding the images and using links and get
    the same result. I have not tried to just generate the PDF because
    I need to tweak the document in Word first before generating the
    PDF to make everything look good.
    I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Robohelp. That didn't
    help either. The image properties all have none (not left or
    right). I am running out of ideas to solve this problem. Everything
    worked great before so I can't figure out what could possibly be
    wrong especially since the webhelp is fine. I also tried moving the
    project to my C drive. No change either. The project usually
    resides on a network drive.
    If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it since I have a
    document to print for a customer ASAP! Thank you in advance.

    I have been suffering with this problem of missing graphics for some time, even with RoboHelp 8. However, it now seems that I have found the answer and just in case anyone else is still having this problem I thought I would share what worked for me.
    After doing some Google searching I found the web site: http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm where the following solution was offered for problems with Mail Merge graphics:
    "If you find that on merging to a new document the resulting paths have been changed to something like: {INCLUDEPICTURE"../,./../program%20files/My Program/ProductPictures/ImageName.jpg"\*MERGEFORMATINET} and the merge does not work correctly:-
    (In Word 2003) Select Tools > Options > General > Web Options and uncheck "Update links on save""
    Whatever this has to do with anything I do not know, but it magically fixed my problem and all images are now appearing in the RoboHelp Word output.
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • How to image trace multiple objects at once on Illustrator CC?

    Hello,
    This may sound like a stupid question, but I am having troubles trying to image trace multiple objects all in one go.
    I'm currently working on Illustrator CC and I remember this process being a lot easier to do on Illustrator CS5.
    I have a typical job where I create client specific barcodes on a separate program, and then bringing them into Illustrator to vectorize.
    When I used to do it in CS5, all I had to do was release clipping masks, select all 50 or so barcodes, then Image Trace - and voila, al of my barcodes were vectorized at once - easy.
    I now have to vectorize about 120+ barcodes and Illustrator CC is only letting me select & image trace one barcode at a time. There has to be a better way, and I'm hoping someone here can help.
    (I would open up CS5 and do it from there, but my work computer was recently replaced with a newer iMac and was only provided with Illustrator CC)
    Thanks!

    Not sure what your barcode-specific challenges and methods may be, but my general aversion to the image trace feature compels me to suggest that you just create the barcodes in vectors in the first place. I do that using Terry Burton's free online barcode generator.

  • The Case of the Missing Image

    Go to this link:
    http://fyiboerne.info/wcid.html
    This page is a very simple HTML page which displays two
    things: a "< GO BACK" link, which is visible and working
    properly, and one jpg image (file name: wcid#2.jpg) which is not
    visible.
    I would love to know what is going on here.
    Both the html page, and the lone image are in place on the
    remote server; however, when I test the page on my testing server
    it comes up blank as it does from the browser when online. I've
    tried pop-up windows, a download to a pdf version of the .jpg....IT
    IS ALWAYS BLANK. Moreover, I have purged the entire site and put it
    back...dumped the html file and completely rebuilt it...tried
    opening the pdf file and jpg file in Photoshop and Acrobat, where
    the image always comes up. In Photoshop, I flattened the layers.
    The image shows up in Dreamweaver, but fails to appear in a
    preview (using Firefox and Safari), and fails to appear on the
    Internet.
    I included the source code for this link in the event anyone
    can see a problem. The first source code appears on the page which
    links to the page in question. The second source code is the code
    from the page with the missing image.
    THANKS!
    HELP!

    Removing the "#" character from the file name fixed the
    problem. Thanks!
