1. yes normal
2. 100% opacity
3. When i overlap the one on top of the other, i can see that it is darker in the 'transparent' areas. Which leads me to believe they are semi transparent between the solid, colored (gray) areas. The image im using is from a brush, stamped once, in each layer up, and moved to match each others boundary, easy on the first row, now on the second i must overlap them on that first row, thus i only want one copy when done? Perhaps gimp doesnt have a way to do that between layers? I know my silhouette software can do the union and i thought gimp would be able to also. Not sure if Inkscape can.
