As you can see the object is bound with squares. If you move the cursor over one of the squares it will become a two head arrow and you can click and hold the mouse button, then move the mouse to resize it to the size that you need.

The alpha channel layer looks like a black/white image. If you want you can draw on him with every tool you want. Just remember that when you pick a color it must be only from the line of black-grey-white. The more white the color, the less transparent those pixels in the original coloured image will be. And the opposite, the more black the color that you use, the more transparent those pixels in the original coloured image will be. Use different variations of grey to make more smooth transition from transparent to non-transparent. After you are ready with the alpha channel, it is time to save your work.
