  Images you want to use as header images must be created in the exact pixel dimensions the theme requires (you can see these dimensions in Appearance > Header). If they are larger, they will be cropped. If they are smaller, cropping involves blowing up as well, so you lose quality.

  Thanks for the reply. – I sized the image to the pixel size stated. I still lost quality/resolution when I clicked “Publish”.

  You’re welcome.
  The URL of your current header image is this:
  http://parkcitymountainrealestate.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/cropped-website-banner1.png
  The word “cropped” in the name shows it’s the version created by WP after cropping, so the original was not 984×242 pixels.
