  The header image in Sight template is always blurry and the dimensions are wrong.

  I’ve tried repeatedly to upload header images that are exactly 580×150, as it specifies on the Appearances—>Header page, and also on this theme profile page:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/

  But every time I upload the image it comes up in the little cropping window as always not wide enough, so the marquee wants to chop out to 40% of it or so. So I adjust and adjust, same thing. Now, I figured out that if i center my image on a much larger canvas, I can manually adjust the crop – but it is still coming blurry, even though my art is razor-sharp:

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  I’m having the same problem. Hope a fix can be found as I can’t figure it out either.
  Cheers,

  Hi Kate –

  Well I didn’t solve it, but I found a compromise of sorts… made the JPG of the header much larger than normal, then reduced it down, it’s still a bit blurry but not like before. Weird stuff!!!
