Open up the Advanced options so you can tweak your tracing for the desired effect
Paths: Controls the distance between traced shapes (lower values = looser path, higher values = tighter path)
Corners: Specifies the emphasis on corners and sharp bends (lower values = fewer corners, higher values = more corners)
Noise: Specifies pixels that are ignored (lower values = fewer details, higher values = more details
Click "Expand" at the top of the screen to separate the objects
