  Hello, Any image I select for the header, whether from the recommended images in the customizer, or my own photo, appears very pale. Is this intended so as not to fight with the blog title, or am I doing something wrong when I set the header image?

  Hi Peggy,

  That pale effect is directly coming from the Theme. So yes, whenever you upload the header image, the theme automatically sets the opacity of that image to 20% of the original value.

  According to my knowledge, there are three options here –
  1) Change the theme .. OR
  2) Ignore it and keep it as it is .. OR
  3) Customize CSS (this will require an upgrade)

  I hope this helps :)
