What I see on the screen is different to what I export. I've tried to see what I may have done, but there is a charcoal colour layer over the top of the .png that I just don't see on the screen prior to export.
I would be grateful if someone could explain what I'm doing wrong.
You have some transparency in the yellowish circle - not sure if this is intended - when it´s opaque and in the background the PNG export will look like so:
Hi thanks for your help. The first comment about objects I tried rearranging but same problem remains. The second comment there may be transparency I'm not sure. But the colour extends across the whole page.
I´m not sure what the problem is actually. That is all what´s in your file after ungrouping. 2 elements are just dirt I guess. So I have no clue where the dark shape/element/whatever comes from other then from you application/target app.
I think this may be a bug or my incompetence. But, if it's a bug it may well lie in the bitmap trace component of inkscape. When I try to export a test.png without using the trace facility it exports fine.
OK thanks anyway. BTW, I am not alone, I received a message from someone saying they had the same problem and to let them know if I solve it.
Using the png files provided, there is no dark region when inserted into a document file, nor in GIMP. There is desaturation of the blacks due to the stacking of the circle in front of the trace objects; easily fixed as described.
I guess I just don't understand. When I went into the inkscape again and followed the advice the same problem occurred. It's to put on a website as a logo. When I export as a .png it has a dark film over it.
Hi Polygon, if you are talking about the SVG that I uploaded to here, I reopened it and deconstructed it changing layers. It's like looking at it with sunglasses on.
I didn't realise that was possible. It saves as an SVG. Great. I wish I understood why it happened but am grateful for your quick and constructive feedback.

I moved the amber circle to the back and ungrouped the Justice figure.

Ist this correct?

I still don´t see the issue. Can you please check the file?
The images shared in replies #2 and #3 display properly when inserted into a document.
It may be the document software being used.

Can't you just test the uploaded SVG-file please to check if this already works or something else is in the way?

OMG - please take the SVG-file from reply #7
The example files from Polygon and myself can be downloaded via right-click-save-image-as...
Sharing a screenshot of Inkscape with the file open and the Objects dialog visible and the Export dialog visible might also be helpful. (see example)

And? Any progress?
:-) Yes thank you. I am going to upload it to the website and see how it fares. You guys are great.
