Illustrator CS6 - Image Trace (Outline)

I'm trying to outline an image. In photoshop, I did find edges (save), then opened the image in illustrator and did image trace. I obtained a perfectly outlined image.

The problem: I can't obtain the same results using illustrator image trace alone.

I've adjusted the advance settings a few times to get the same result but with no luck. Threshhold and corner settings are ok, but I'm getting more paths and noise than I want, with the settings at low/1 respectively.
I also tried the gray scale setting since the image is mostly gray, expand, etc, but no dice).

Can you help?

    Thank you for looking into this


    Hi Jholland83

    Have you tried the following combination in Image Trace panel :-->

    1) Trace the image with "Outline" preset

    2) Increase the number of paths and corners to 100%

    3) Reduce the "Noise" to 1px

    4) Now try to increase the "Threshold" value

    Maybe you can be nearer to your desired result.

    Hi there - could you post a screenshot of the Image Trace result you're getting, along with the image you created using the Photoshop to Image Trace technique? It might help us give you some advice.
