Using the New Live Trace Feature in Illustrator CS2

After clicking the Live Trace button, you will have many more options on the control palette. Next to the Presets is a button that opens many more options. From this dialog, you can control the number of colors, the preset, the minimum size that will be traced, and even choose to output to a swatches file. This dialog will tell you how many paths the object contains, how many anchor points, how many colors, and how many areas, and you can decide what you want to preview. Some of these options are also available on the control palette. On the control palette you can even use the X,Y coordinates to precisely place the image on the page, or use the height and width boxes to resize the image.
