Sorry for horribly worded title, I'm having a hard time putting this into words.

This is what the file should look like:

But after opening in illustrator looks like this:

Any ideas on how to fix it? I assume its with the blending/transparency but its just a guess.

Thank you!!! :3

This file will not work in CMYK color mode.

You can only open it as an RGB file.

Export it at the desired size to a pixel file format

Open it in Photoshop and convert to CMYK, adjust contrast etc.

Place in your CMYK file.

Transparent elements in different blending modes look different in CMYK and RGB.
