Changing the image to get a different background layer when tracing

[molucca]

The black part of the image extended to the edges, and when traced it became the background layer. I wanted to change the background fill, and have the forground image remain (black). I expanded the image to get a white edge all around. When it traced, the background layer was white. This layer was deleted, and I added a bitmap fill. Since white was the surrounding color, the background was reversed. Rich

I inverted the background by surrounding the image in white. Before, the black was the background, and when deleted, all the image went away. It is a matter of controlling the image to get the trace you want. Rich

Creating a white border around the image caused the trace to have a white background. Otherwise, the trace had a black background. Rich

I love the images that your creating, but I have the feeling that I'm missing what you are trying to explain. On several of your posts I find that I get completely lost by your explanations. Don't get me wrong, I want to understand, but I'm left mystified. Perhaps you could expand your explanation re the last 8 image posting, bearing in mind that the viewer hasn't your insight.
Please don't take offence by my request for further clarification, but I am completely baffled.
