"In Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace panel, there is a preset called 3 Colors. My question is, when we trace an image using this preset, which three colors will be used for the tracing? Are the colors based on the dominant pixels in the image, or is there another method of selection? Please provide guidance on this query."

Hello @Ghulam Mohyuddin,

Thank you for reaching out. When you use the limited color set option for Image Trace, the colors are selected from the image based on their visibility, with the most dominant colors being chosen first. You can learn more about this process here: Image Trace in Adobe Illustrator.


If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help.


Thanks,
Anubhav

"Thank you for your explanation. I am inquiring specifically about a 3-color preset, not a limited palette. Does the principle you mentioned apply similarly to presets with 3 colors, 6 colors, and 16 colors?"

"I would like to inquire about the 'Grays' function in the Image Trace panel. Does it determine the number of gray tones used in a grayscale tracing result, or does it affect the simplicity and accuracy of the vector  tracing result? Please provide guidance on this."

Hello @Ghulam Mohyuddin,

It would affect the number of gray shades used in the traced result to provide more accuracy.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Does it use the most dominant color pixels, or does it consider the overall visibility of colors for 3 colors image trace preset?
