Hi,
I changed my header image recently and have since had a problem with it looking completely rubbish. I have always uploaded PNG files as I've found the colour saturation and contrast is retained when it is often lost in jpegs and other file types. Now, however, even this isn't the case. I left it for a while to see if it had anything to do with the image needing to be moderated/approved but it's just the same...a bland version of what it should be.
All images upload and show faithfully elsewhere in the body content of the site.
Some particulars in case it matters:
1. I prefer to upload png files
2. I use Firefox for a browser on a macbook
3. I don't upload a logo on top of the header image.
Any help/fix would be much appreciated....
cheers

I'll try and have a look tomorrow/later on today (didn't realise the time!). I think there's been a regression in the code for this (it's been tinkered with by someone else).
The tweak I made today was on the resizing, it was checking whether height and width matched the specified width value, only width needed checking as it doesn't matter how tall your banner is.
It looks as though some processing is still going on even if the image uploaded is of the correct width. This shouldn't happen, it should just save directly and then make a large copy in case you enable side navigation (this needs the banner to be 892px wide)

Thanks Eccles (and everyone).
Look forward to hearing from you re an update on how the tinkering goes.

Please could you test your banner once more. I have successfully tried my changes using your banner and it now has the same file size after uploading.
The issue was that the images were passed through PHP's GD image functions regardless of whether the uploaded image width was correct for the site. It now does not do this but simply saves the images as it is.

Styling! Looks 100%..
Thanks Eccles (and to everyone who commented and helped).
Appreciated!
Now I can head off to network in the US at the International Conservation Photography Awards knowing my site's looking fine.
All the best
