This depends on the image editor you use. I'm pretty sure that PS saves whatever is on the layer, even if it's extends past the boundaries of the image itself. At any time you can open the file, and move the layer and get access to whatever was masked off.
If you "flatten" the layer, then you might lose what's beyond the boundaries.

Ok, but if I understood correctly we're asking GIMP to remove code paths that have different layer boundaries, so that would surely affect GIMPs project file format?
wait GIMP does vectors now? I hope you don't mean that stupid useless plugin that renders to a bitmap layer and you can't adjst again afterwards? Or has that improved while I wasn't looking?
going to try again when I get home - would be so nice to just click and adjust text when its not quite the right size or position. I hope I can draw vector line as well.
that was actually something that drove me almost batty once before I installed an old PSP9 in wine and used that instead. I needed to adjust thesize and position of several lines in relation to each other and i was unable to do that even with that stupid plugin.Using 1 layer per line would have worked but I though that was a bridge too far at the time.
