  No matter what size I try to use, all my photos are coming in at 529 x 396. I seem to be able to make them smaller, but nothing larger. This has been going on for the last few weeks.

  I don’t rely on the cropper. Instead I choose to presize all images before I upload them into my blog so they fit into the maximum displayed image width of my theme and no image quality is lost.

  When you upload an image from your computer to your blog, and select the “Full size” option before inserting it, then the theme will automatically downsize the image. But again it’s better to upload images that don’t exceed the right width, because this will give you better quality on the post (images resized by WP lose some color and sharpness > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/maximum-image-width/
