gentle bump, still looking for a way to do this in AD. Nearest I can find is using the channel mixer to turn down the other two channels, but then you end up with a whole lot of black.

Hi, I own affinity designer. How can I take a layer and split it into its RGB channels? This is a very basic task which currently requires my workflow to involve GIMP to create three copies of the layer, then use their color-to-alpha tool to create single channel specific layers, then re-importing those layers back into AD. This process is very tedious. Considering there is a channel mixer in AD, it seems to me like it should be possible there.
