Too many anchor points, and simplify messes up the pic

I'm making a picture and I have a problem - I need a maximum of 2000 anchor points, and I have about 11k.
Seems like I have a lot of unnecessary points, but when I try to simplify the picture gets all messed up. Any other way to fix this?
Here's part of the picture, you can clearly see that a lot of the points don't have to be there..

It looks as if you have a lot of areas with the same color inside itself...
And/or different colors hidden by overlaps.--which is exactly why I said the Merge Pathfinder will probably reduce the number of anchors. There is no need to tediously select objects of same color. Merge unions adjacent areas of same color and removes hidden areas of overlap in one move.
Photo of a heart...
That could be anything from a valentine to a medical procedure photo. You need to show what you're working with.
This picture project is such a huge pain in the *ss...
So is trying to help someone, blind.

  • Too many anchor point when brushes expand in CS6

    I have recently upgraded to CS6 from CS2. I do a lot of digital inking in Illustrator as part of my job. In CS2 I would create a simple tapered brush using 4 anchor points. When I would draw a brush stroke say with two anchor points, and then expand that brush stroke. Illustrator CS2 would convert the outlined tapered brush stroke back to the the original 4 anchor point path that I had originally created with maybe one extra point if the stroke curved  drastically. Now is CS6 illustrator creates that same expanded brush with 9 to 12 anchor points in the path. This makes the program completly useless for my task. Is there anyway to correct this?

    Just in case you didn't get it. Here is a link to a brush sample. It's a simple art brush. Nothing sophisicated.

  • Too many touch points reported: Bug ?

    Dear JavaFX community
    Following situation. I have a touch handler who recognizes special gestures and fires javafx.GestureEvent derivates on positive detection. the gesture event carries a list of cloned touch points for carrying the touches on start and end of the gesture.
    Now if a listener to this GestureEvents fails for whatever reason with an uncaught exception, JavaFX touch point handling goes awry by constantly throwing RuntimeExceptions: "Too many touch points reported". From that point, the touch application is not usable anymore and must be restarted.
    If the listener completes without error, the app continues to work as expected.
    Firing the GestureEvent in a Platform.runLater seemed to help, but I experienced the problem at least once. The problem is not reproducable reliably though.
    I believe this to be a bug in JavaFX.
    Any thoughts/hints/comments on this?
    See the stacktraces below. The first NPE trace is my deliberately provoked exception. The second trace arises upon every single subsequent touch event

    Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP  HELP!!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • How many break points and watchpoints are allowed in ECC 6.0

    Hi,
    Can any one say how many break points and watchpoints are allowed in ECC 6.0

    Hi ,
    A breakpoint is a signal at a particular point in the program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt processing and start the Debugger. The Debugger is activated when the program reaches this point.Max 30 breakpoints we can use.
    There is a special kind of breakpoint called a watchpoint. When you use watchpoints, the Debugger is not activated until the contents of a particular field change ie...Watchpoints allow you the option of monitoring the content of individual variables.The Debugger stops as soon as the value of the monitored variable changes.You can use max of 5 watchpoints.
    Difference
    1. Break Point.
    At particular LINE of SOURCE CODE,
    the system will STOP there.
    2. Watch Point.
    If you want to interrupt a program when the contents of a field or structure change, use a watchpoint. You can set up to five watchpoints, including watchpoints for strings.
    (For this, we have to give some
    VARIABLE NAME & VARIABLE VALUE - with relational operator)
    When this CONDITION gets satisfied,
    (anywhere during the execution of the program),
    the system will AUTOMATICALLY STOP THERE.
    (EG when the value of matnr reaches the specified value)
    That is the purpose of WATCHPOINT
    (the system will WATCH it, like a dog)
    Please go through this link:
    Watchpoint Vs breakpoint
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c6/617cdce68c11d2b2ab080009b43351/content.htm
    Like a breakpoint, a watchpoint is an indicator in a program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt the program at a particular point. Unlike breakpoints, however, watchpoints are not activated until the contents of a specified field change. Watchpoints, like dynamic breakpoints, are user-specific, and so do not affect other users running the same program. You can only define watchpoints in the Debugger. Watchpoints allow you the option of monitoring the content of individual variables.
    The Debugger stops as soon as the value of the monitored variable changes.
    In addition, conditions can be specified. The Debugger also checks whether such a condition is fulfilled.

  • Anchor points and paths not displaying!

    Hi JJMAck,
    The problem isn't with selecting a path or anchor point, but rather seeing them at all. I watched a tutorial video, where the user chose the rectangle shape tool, created a rectangle, and the path and anchor points of the rectangle were visible. When I create a rectangle, no path or anchor points are displayed.....
    Any thoughts on that situation?
    Thanks!!
    John
    What you saw in the tutorials is how newer versions of Photoshop work older Photoshop versions do not display the points and the way shape layer are depicted in the layers palette is also different.
    What version of Photoshop are you using?
    While CS6 is close to CC it does not show the points and there may even be differences between the PC and Mac versions of Photoshop.

  • Anchor Points and Intersect Guide Lines Disappeared

    Hi! I must have hit some type of command on my keyboard but now my anchor points and intersect guides have disappeared that would normally appear when I roll my mouse over the anchor point or the intersecting paths. I have hit Ctrl + H as well as went to the menu manually and my edges are showing. How do I turn back on this ability to see my anchor points and intersecting lines guide in Illustrator?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Edit: I run on Adobe Illustrator CS5

    Is View > Smart Guides turned on? If not, enable it.
    If Smart Guides are already turned on, check if Align to Grid is enabled in the View menu and turn it off.

    Thank you for your help, but I believe my questions remains unanswered -- mainly, because my English isn't the good. 
    Here's what I am asking:
    1.  I need something that is animated that blinks or flashes to alert the viewer to scroll down the page.  I would put the wording:  Scroll Down for more (and then an arrow blinks or gently moves up and down to alert the user to move down).
    2.  is there a way that the entire homepage on it's own moves downward?
    Sorry for my poor English.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

  • Outline stroke giving too many unnecessary points.

    how will I'm going to deal with this? when I converting into this, it give too many points even it looks like it can can just a 2 to 4 points. Any plugin that I may use while still maintaining its shape? and btw i'm on PC not Mac. Simplify and Cleanup didn't work.

    Expanding paths will very often still result in a tremendous point count. I have been trying to figure out the reason for it but this is not very easy.
    Here is a screenshot after expanding an envelope containing elements that are basically just circles and merged circles. The result is absolutely unusable. Can't work with it. Simplifying the path gives a little relief but frankly, it's a far cry from the old days.
    I have been using Illustrator since version 3. No, not CS3, version 3. That's right, the late nineties...
    Now frankly, the expanded result on the right is something Adobe really should pay attention to. This does not only happen with envelopes, mind you.
