Adobe Please Update Image Trace in AI

Totally undestand the business aspects of focusing on tools which have the most users. However Image Trace appears stuck in a time warp and not moving forward. May be stretching but with the AI, ML tools Image Trace should be far more capable than the current form. The inability to distinguish lines in an image is of concern. You should be able to draw more interest to take raster drawings to the next level with Illustrator. Has been almost 24 years when this was released. Defintely time to take to the next level.

Monika; Thanks, yes I use PS or Topaz Gigapixel to enlarge images. I also engrave on a laser engraver. Which is why I was trying to see if Illustrator could handle the task. One of the drawbacks to PS is the limitation on the width of the stroke (.05). I need to be able to take it down to .001 for cutouts.

Lesson learned which may help others tracing image. If Image Trace fails to capture the entire image, which in most cases it will not. The Isolation Mode feature will change the opacity of the original image and allow you to trace in order to fill in the missing information. This makes life a lot easier.
