Illustrator CS6 auto trace including border

New Here ,
Dec 04, 2016 Dec 04, 2016

In Illustrator CS6, Auto trace is tracing including the bounding line in its trace. I take the trace, paste it back into Photoshop using paste paths. When I do a fill, it is filling the outsides of my art, not inside the lines. So, basically, I end up with a black rectangle since the original lines are still there.

This causes other problems. In Photoshop, select a black ring with magic wand tool, then cut and paste it into Illustrator. Essentially you have a transparent background. When trace gets to close to the top, it starts tracing back along the border instead of closing the ring. So all four of the sides have a flat spot in addition to the above problem. I got past the flat sides by importing images with a white background making that border be away from my lines a little. Still it was a pain for a newbe.  That problem should go away if I get the first problem fixed.

So, Is there a setting or something that I am missing?

If I paste it into Photoshop as a smart object, it works.   But I have been trying to get a vector to work there.  So far no luck.  I have watched a bunch of videos and no one else seems to be having this problem but me.

It's a bug that's fixed in later versions.

Illustrator CS6 doesn't delete white areas when you specify "Ignore white". Instead it fills them with None.

You will have to first delete the unfilled paths, then copy/paste to Photoshop
