[SVG imports as black]

Hi all,

Well, I have experienced the same thing, but found a solution. I cannot take credit for it, but I found it in a Quora Google thread. I have tested it in both Affinity Designer 2.3 and Publisher 2.3 and it is a super easy fix - at least it was for me.

When you open your SVG and see the dreaded solid black. Look in your Layers palette. You will see that there is a "rectangle" layer AND the actual image layer (At least this is what I have seen on my SVG images with this issue.). You will see that the rectangle layer looks to be solid black -- and, yes, it is as it has a black fill AND a stroke (usually). All you have to do is select that black rectangle layer and then choose "no fill" and leave the stroke if you want one -- or choose "no stroke" for the image as well.

VOILA! You can now see your image. I hope this works for everyone else!
