I installed a trial of Illustrator from Adobe on my macbook pro. This is the release of 2014 of the adobe Illustrator. I want to draw a picture using the custom trace button.

I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/color pencil, drawing, in the document. I tried to scan and then placing it as jpeg, bitmap and a tiff file. I tried scanning and place then, in color and in black and white. The scan mode that I use is flat. Adobe Illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of the eleven preset buttons (e.g. photo high fidelity), but cannot me click on the record button custom. The custom trace button is gray while all other buttons are white.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could track custom?

Just it trace, and then change the options later. The follow-up is 'live', you can press the buttons and see what happens.

See also the manual.
