  HI,
  I just purchased Creative theme and I love it, but I’m having problems with the Featured Images. I can’t figure out the exact image dimensions or PPI I need to get a crisp, high quality picture, which is vital since this is for my photography business.
  Any advice?

  Thanks!

  According to the theme’s page:

  Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels)
  The main column width is 620 except in the full-width layout where it’s 778.
  A widget in the sidebar is 250.
  A widget in the Footer Widget Area or Front Page Widget Area is 320.
  The featured image on the front page and on pages works best with images at least 1180 wide.
  Featured Images for posts should be at least 820 wide by 312.

  Hey thanks for the specs. Had a couple questions regarding the Sela theme.

  I love the homepage featured image feature, but is there any way to reduce the size of the white overlayed box with text? I’d like to limit it to just one one word and when I do, it just seems too big.

  Try adding this CSS to your site:

  /* Reduce width of featured image Home Page text box for large screens */
  @media screen and (min-width: 700px) {
    #post-575 {
      width: 350px;
    }
  }
