    you can also do the following for tracing: 1. make the image greyscale/grayscale (mode change in photoshop) in order to be able to colour/color it in illustrator using a swatch of your choice, so for example you could make the image orange. No need for opacity change. You can also set the layer to dim image to your liking by double clicking the layer where the image is kept (in the layer panel), this double click gives you the layer options....a template option is also available in there too.... 2. put the image on its own layer and lock it. 3.make another layer for the actual tracing and then set the layer to keyline mode by control-clicking that layer's icon for visibility (in the layers panel). this means that, in my example, you will trace black lines that are super thin (regardless of zoom level) against an orange image - plenty contrast. this method works well for tracing images at full opacity and having the best contrast for following detail.
