Use an automatic tracing if your figure has a small color palette and sharp outlines. Select an image: click on it twice or just go to the "Object" (Object). In the top panel, you'll see "Quick trace" (Live Trace), and next to it you will see a small black triangle. Clicking on it, you will open the menu which will present options, trace, available for your image.

Click on "Configure trace" (Tracing Options), if you want to check the result. Click to customize "Template" (Preset). Depending on what you want to convert: black-and-white or color photo, picture, logo or something else, select the appropriate option.

If you want to trace a logo, select a template 6 Color. In the case when the result does not satisfy you, take a step back and try to use the pattern Color 16 - it is suitable for more complex illustrations. For photos where the details are unimportant, use Low Fidelity Photo, otherwise the Photo High Fidelity. Template Hand Drawn Sketch should be used if the converted image is performed by a pencil drawing (outline or sketch).

In the settings window conversion note the field "Mode" (Mode), "Threshold" (Threshold) and the "Minimum area" (Minimum area). The first parameter defines the trace type: colored, gray or black and white. The second details the image (the higher the number, the greater the effect), this option is only suitable for drawings b/W. From the third paragraph depends on the area to be treated: if some region of pixels to be less than the specified, the program will turn it into noise and discarded.
