Black and White "Trace Image" no longer available as today (3/3/23)

[Brandon27193359u7ul]

Good afternoon Adobe community,

I am an avid user of the Trace Image feature in Illustrator, and I always use the Black and White. Just noticed today 3/3/23 that it is no longer on the drop down list. Has this been discontinued and will I have to just go with the Shades of Gray option? Or is this a bug?

Please advise

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

Which version do you have? There is a recent update to 27.3.1.

When I trace black/whit artwork I get Black and White as Mode in the Image Trace panel.

Running latest version 27.3.1 and I do see the black and white option through the Image Trace panel.

Was just wondering why all of a sudden today this option was not showing up on the shortcut menu (panel closed) Essentials Classic setup.

Thanks Ton

Yes, Brandon and you can create your own preset based on Black and White Logo and name it Black and White.
