Hi!

Why don't you save your work in Gimp's native format - XCF? All layers,
paths, channels etc. are saved then.

The problem is that the most graphic formats like JPG, BMP etc. don't
support full alpha transparency (i.e. 8bit alpha). GIF supports a 1bit

Use <Image>-Image-Rescale to rescale your image or use the crop tool (im
Gimp 1.1.x a button with a knife on it) to crop it.
Hope it helps!
