Content-Aware Tracing - Auto Trace in Photoshop 2022 (one click!) 

To each their own. Some people jumped to other tools (paid and free) and are happy with it. Whatever works best for you.

thanks, Clyde!

Never mind, got to select free transform lol… sorry use illustrator more than photoshop and couldn’t figure it out…. Need to start doing more work in photoshop and was sick of bouncing between both so this is a very good find!!

@@PhoenixPhire22 glad you figured it out. Yes I just used the shortcut CTRL/CMD + T

Exactly he did not explain that step he had some shortcut button and now leaves us all in the lurch trying to figure out something simple :)

I think you have to select Freeform transform edit and then the box appears so you can scale it :))))

Well the tutorial is titled "Content-Aware Tracing ..." ...and not ..."Photoshop Basics...." I'm focusing on one specific task because viewers really reaaally hate lengthy tutorials and want a specific answer right away. I can think of 15 scenarios what to do with that path once traced but that would be a 2 hour long video which no one would watch. To answer your question....once the path is selected press Ctrl/CMD + T to bring up the transform box and resize the path.

Thanks for the reply!

In edit there is a last option of preferences

If you are on a Mac look under Photoshop > Preferences

you can export it to Illustrator and/or tweak the path like any other path. In this scenario it's used to resize a rather small resolution bitmap image without any artifacts.

@VIDEO MARK so do I have to start in Photoshop, ? or can I do it all in illustrator since they have an image trace in there also I think? Also do we use logos such as bitmaps or vector graphics in illustrator and photoshop when using them together? In order to tweak the design what tool do we use for illustrator and what tools do we use for photoshop

@@ashleyjohnson9120 this is just the Photoshop version of the Illustrator image tracer

I can see it in PS23 ...idk what could have gone wrong on your end....you are clicking and holding the pen tool, right?

@@videomarknet yes but i figured it out, i had to go to the edit tools and drag it from the extra tools category under the pen tool. Weird but worked. Thanks for the message/help 😬

wait let me call my Photoshop 24/7 support friends on speed dial....

@@videomarknet I fixed this; preferences > plugins > enable generator > thick :)

It's in the latest Photoshop version as demonstrated in the video

0:23 ...it's literally the first thing I demonstrate in the video and 0:05 the very first thing I'm saying is ...it must be the latest Photoshop version

it's actually not found in edit. Click on the photoshop button and you'll see preferences. I tried it exactly how he explained it and couldnt find preference there either at first.

@@videomarknet My Photoshop is 2021 but I cant find the pen tool you used in the tutorial,, please guide

@@mubashirali-os3zm Well first thing in the video I'm saying it's a new tool in Photoshop 2022. You are using Photoshop 2021. Do you see a correlation there?

@@videomarknet its different on a mac

hmm good question. ....wait I'll consult my miracle glass orb to connect to your Photoshop and find out why it's not working....

Hi Christian, that's easy..the error message pops up because it has no target to fill! ...I had no empty layer....I created a new one and selected. Then it has something to fill and it doesn't trigger an error message. Hope that helps.

usual questions: ...did you activate it (as demonstrated)? Is your Photoshop older than 2022?

@@videomarknet no i have 2022 version and i activate it but i didn't find : content-aware tracing tool

@@chidourachid2336 ok then I don't know what the issue is. Maybe Adobe does some shenanigangs because you're using a '22 version in '24 idk.

@@videomarknet i uninstalled it and install it and i find it thank you so much

Always a challenge to find the right pace for everyone with these tutorials. I've had people in the past complaining about 30 seconds tutorials (yes seconds) for being too long. But luckily it's also an option to watch a tutorial over and over again here on RU-vid 😉

I've had people complain about 60 second tutorials.....I've had people complain about 45 second tutorials....I've even had people complain about 30 seconds ...and here we are talking about not being 'in depth' enough.....

let me ask in return...how am I supposed to know what is going on on your end? Half of the very short 4 minute tutorial I'm explaining where to find the tool. Even repeating the process at the end of those endless 4 minutes ....I know it's ridiculous of me to ask someone to watch a 4 minute tutorial to learn something...while they could spend 2 hours of their precious lives watching a Joe Rogan podcast. What else can I possibly do to make it work on your end? I don't know if you are on the latest Photoshop version? I don't know your PC specs? And still I'm getting 'doesn't work, help?" ...you didn't even bother writing more than 8 words (eight!) to outline the problem and yet you are expecting a productive response from me to make that tool magically appear on your end? How is everyone expecting INSTANT gratification nowadays and putting zero effort into anything?
