  I have a great image of sunset behind the Tetons I have imported for my intergalactic theme background. When it displays it is all faded. Can I fix this?

  This relates to the opacity setting that your theme is using.

  You can disable it by adding the following CSS code to your site:

  /* Set header image opacity */
  .header-background {
    opacity: 1;
  }

  If you just want to turn it down a little, try using a value of 0.8, instead of 1.
