After you edit that extracted alpha in the Paint Window, it's rect will shrink because the Paint window automatically calls 'Contract White Space' (I'm not sure if the PI's checkbox effects this)
The problem with this is that an alpha channel can't be loaded (or reloaded) unless the image to be put into the alpha matches the rect of the existing RGB channels.
So what I would do BEFORE editing that extracted alpha is duplicate the member, then do your alpha editing.
Then make an empty image the size of the duplicate (+ 8 bits deep) & copypixel the edited alpha's .image into this new image & then this new image can be loaded into the alpha channel of your original because it's the right size.
it's a little tedious, but the results can be fabulous.
