This separates the shapes in the image, making it possible to manually edit them. Once you’re happy with how the preview is looking, it’s time to “expand” the paths. It can also make it harder to edit shapes efficiently. However, this creates a much more complex shape, and having too many complex shapes in a document can cause Illustrator to run slowly. Usually Adobe’s default Paths calculation works well, but if you have very detailed artwork you might want to increase the number of paths that Illustrator creates. Paths: This control is within the “Advanced” drill-down menu. The Threshold setting is very useful if you’re trying to exclude grey dots or gridlines in a scanned image. If you increase the setting, they become black. If you reduce this setting to a smaller number, the white point is set lower, so more of the colors in the original photo become white. Threshold: This determines where Illustrator sets the white point when it analyses the images. There are two other important settings to consider: Make sure that “Preset” is set to “Default”, “View” is set to “Tracing Result”, and “Mode” is set to “Black and White”. This will show you what the conversion will look like with the selected settings. With the image selected, click “Preview” in the Image Trace panel.
