To maintain transparency, you'd save yourself a lot of trouble if you 
would save your images as transparent gif or png images in your paint 
program. Then import the images from disk, using "Import as control" in 
Rev's file menu. That will maintain transparency as well as avoid all 
the resizing problems you were having.

Importing images from disk is the standard way to get them into a stack. 
In fact, until I answered your questions about it, I had never even 
tried to paste an image directly into a stack from the clipboard. It 
seems to be far more work to paste the image than to import it from 
disk. Pasting requires a lot of extra scripting to get the image into 
the same state that is produced automatically with an import.
