: How to scale the alpha layer without scaling the image ? gimp I am trying to write text which larger than the image itself, as you can see in the bellow picture: but gimp doesn't show the

@Mendez620

As far as I can see, it's not the alpha channel that is the problem.

The real problem is simply that you have created a text layer which is larger than your current canvas size and GIMP will only show that part which is visible within the canvas.

Just do Image > Fit Canvas to Layers to automatically re-size the canvas large enough to include your text layer, or Image > Canvas Size.. to set the overall image size to specified dimensions.
