Image Trace not working on 28.1

Admitedly I don't use Illustrator that often, but I've been using it for 20 years, and image trace has always been easy. Today, using 28.1 on a Mac Studio Pro, I tried to use imagetrace on an image that should have been very very easy. It just comes out white. It's a two color logo, orange and white. I save it as a TIF file, RGB. I placed the file in Illustrator and ran image trace, and I just get a white square. I look in the layers pallet, and there is one layer. It's white. 

 

Any ideas? gone are the options of logo, 16 color etc. Now there's just an image trace button, and it doesn't seem to work, unless you want a white square.

Click 'Image Trace', then open the image trace panel (Window > Image Trace).

WHich settings are you using? If you are using a black and white setting, try and move the Threshold slider to get it darker.

I'm not applying any settings. I can't find them. They've all been moved and this tool has been so radically changed I don't even recognize it. Where is black and white? Where are those settings now? I can't find them.  I feel like a newbie, but I've been using Illustrator for 20 years and suddenly it's unrecognizeable.
