Auto Selection & (even improved) Auto Trace for Illustrator

[RenaldyD]

Hi, so far i'm in love with illustrator, been using it daily for my school related project. i recently got a lot of project which needed to masking/ clipping mask an object inside an image on Illustrator so my option were either manually tracing the object with pen tool & mask it, or use photoshop to auto select the object and export in PNG. 

so i want to propose an idea, like how about you guys even improve the image trace function? the new improved image trace will allow us user to use lasso-like tools to cover the object we want to trace into an optimum Auto-traced objects.

i'm inspired by the idea of selecting in photoshop with auto-detect object where you can just use the tools to auto detect where we want to select and can let us do whatever we want with the selection, like to mask an image or convert it to functional path and we can convert those path to a shape.

With this even improved image trace in Illustrator we can select the area we want and the AI will help us to choose which object (in the image) we want to trace, it can trace to either : silhouette, high fidelity photo, line art, etc. so the shape us user get from auto detect & auto trace with the even improved image tracing could be used as a mask, or just an object
