That is correct. I was using a Gimp Image Hose made of a number of tree variations. All my gimp tree brushes are coloured image hoses, so they can be transparent with solid backgrounds. Even the B&W outline ones I make are full colour, with the outline (black) and the tree fill (white) so they will overlap without showing though.

For those of us less savvy, how does one manage to make and set up one of these Gimp Image Hoses?
Could someone please be elucidate?
In particular (where to start?),
* well, when is a brush wanted to be transparent(?) with solid backgrounds? (Forgive me, I don't even know if this means the brush has a solid background or that it is transparent when used on solid backgrounds)
* and how making them in color [defining the the GIMP .xcf project file using a colour palette?] effects that behavior, as compared to using black-and-white
* and regarding the "B&W outline ones," does this refer to a white tree on a solid black background (defined in a color project) or a white-tree-with-a-(narrow)-black outline on a transparent background
I apologize for my denseness, but thank you for your forthcomingness.
