  hi there. sorry for my bad english.

  i use the theme “pilcrow”. I uploaded a header in the exact size that the upload form told me. 990×257 pixel. And before the upload, the picture was nice and sharp. After uploading, the upload form showed it sharp – but in the blog, it is unsharp. I found the problem – the problem is in the css of the theme:

  #header img { max-width: 100%; }

  this code stretches the header a bit, so it gets unsharp. so i have no possibility to insert a sharp header.

  is it possible to fix this?

  thanx,

  chris

  There’s no problem with the CSS of the theme. Width 100% would stretch smaller images. Max-width 100% doesn’t stretch anything: it means the image should not exceed the width of the header image area.
  Try creating an RGB color image instead of grayscale.

  it is RGB. And i have the problem in all color modes and all export formats. but check the image url. drop it into your browser and you`ll see the picture is sharp.

  You think I didn’t do this before replying? Photoshop says the ICC profile of the image is invalid.

  but the rgb channels are on, the adjustments in photoshop say rgb – 8 bit.
