I have a self intersecting path that in a way creates two filled zones. This was created accidentally when vectorizing a raster photo. To be more precise, my self intersection paths happens in very detail areas: hair in a human silhouette.
I would like to simplify the paths and avoid the any self intersections. It's acceptable for me, for instance, to have more paths instead of the self intersection. Can this be done with a script or with a illustrator command? Any idea of how to correct it fast?
PS: I am sure it can be done manually with scissors but i need to do this hundreds of times. One possible remedy may be offset in and out the paths...
