I am having a major issue merging my image. Wondering if someone might be able to give me some advice on how to go forward. I want to merge (flatten) the image so that all the overlapping layers are seperated. I need to do this to edit the colors and set it up for a silk screen.

What do I need to do so that I can get the layers merged so they are not overlapping?

Please see the attached images to get a better understanding of the issue.

How is this built? Please show the layers.

Exactly how did you flatten it?

I have gone though and done a ton of Ungrouping because I thought that was the issue, so most all the parts are seperated now, and there are 100's of layers.

There are still some Compound Paths and Clip Group's

I have also Expanded everything so there are no lines

What happens if you do before:

select all
object --> flatten transparency

I have never tried to do a Flatten Transparency before... I used the standard setting and it doesn't look like it changed anything but how the layout is done in the layers...

After Flatting Transparency > Then Merger it still looked the same.
