Reload won't separate

I import an SVG and it separates into four colors. I'm trying to save it as a PNG with separate colors, but no setting seems to do this

Some things I've tried:

True color + Alpha
Transparent
------------------
True color + Alpha
Interlaced
------------------
True color + Alpha
Interlaced
Transparent
------------------
True color + Alpha
Interlaced
Export each layer to a file of its own
------------------
True color + Alpha
Export each layer to a file of its own
------------------
ETC

I've pretty much tried every setting there is, but no matter what I do when I save it and reload it it
won't separate into the four colors that are there when I load in as an SVG.


Almost ready to head over to the Aokigahara forest.

Can you save and export each color individually?

I don't think there is a batch setting to do this but I could be wrong.

does it work if you make a bitmap copy with alpha of each layer and export them ?

handrawn I tried that but not as different layers it may work that way.

without the SVG to look at its guesswork

I@m not sure what BB means by it wont seperate into the four colour when reloading [the PNG] a PNG is a single leyer format

Yes I can

Agreed

If you put each color on a new layer, then you can export PNG > Options > Export each layer to new file

Depending on the pixel size of the image, you can use Window > Show Printer Colors > Show Cyan (make screenshot and put on Cyan layer, and repeat this for the other three colors. And then export PNG each layer a new file.

But the image has to be 96dpi (1:1)

Thanks, GP good tip.

The SVG origin is immaterial as the XDA converts the SVG into shapes.

Gary's suggestion is all I can visualise.
I tried with RGBY into four Layers and chose the Export PNG > Options > tick: export each layer to a file of its own.
I named the file colours and got:

1. Colours.png - everything
2. Colours Pasteboard.png - blank
3. Colours Page background.png - blank
4. Colours Red.png
5. Colours Green.png
6. Colours Blue.png
7. Colours Yellow.png

So the separated images are files of filename: basename layername.png

Were you hoping to separate the colours into channels?
