Exporting Troubles

[Bill Cypher]

I was sent a .afdesign file that has a completed image inside of it. My goal is to have it exported to Photoshop, label each layer and then kick it over to AfterEffects for animation. The client told me they added "Black and White" on the whole object within Affinity Designer and underneath the single layers are still blue. I'm trying to have the entire image exported to a .svg while keeping the black and white gradients intact so I don't have to recreate the entire detailed image from scratch. They also said "with this Black and White Adjustment you kind of have every layer in B/W"  but they don't know how to export it properly, because as you can see, it's still blue if you look at the right side of the image. Is there any way to have both the black and white export AND keep the single individual layers? Because the single layers are how I'll be animating everything independently.

Hi @Bill Cypher ,
Welcome to the Affinity Forums!

I can't manage to export as SVG with a B&W adjustment respected, too – but until someone else might know you could use a workaround: set the document's color space to grayscale. This forces all document colors accordingly.

Thank you, I ended up having to export it as a .svg and then changing all the gradients by had to the desired color. But next time, I will keep in mind what you shared here.
