Creating a brush pipe in GIMP

[wisemoon]

Hi, I am trying to make a brush pipe according to your steps. When I first create the file, the brush shape is black and the background is transparent. However, after I create the .gih file, and try to use the brush, instead of brushing with the black shape, the entire square is black with just a barely visible white outline of the shape.

what did I do wrong, do you know?

thanks,
wisemoon

Sounds like your image mode is greyscale, not RGB.
