 * Alright I am using the RedBel 1.3.1 theme and under the header editing it is 
   saying to select the image and then to crop it on the next page. well no matter
   what size I resize the image it always maxes out the cropping tool before the
   end of the image.. there is about a quarter of the image left. Is there something
   I am doing wrong?
 * Thanks for your time.

 * Instead of letting wordpress crop the image I make the image to the size that
   is allowed in header than upload that way you have what you want in header.

 * in the header.php file? I have tried that however its not showing a image source
   code that is currently existing in the file for some reason. and it doesnt allow
   to just place it and overlap it on the current red banner

 * the default image size for that theme is 1000w x 153h
 * I would think if you make an image that size, and use the header image uploader/
   selector, you wouldn’t have to crop at all
 * it looks like it also adjusts the header div size to match the image, so maybe
   if you have an image that is 1000px wide, you can have whatever height you want,
   but not sure on that

 * No it crops the height as well you can make transparent image if its small so
   that it fills that size or you can re size that image in functions.php
    with 
   this code
 *     ```
       add_filter('twentyten_header_image_height','my_header_height');
       add_filter('twentyten_header_image_width','my_header_width');
       function my_header_height($size){
          return 100;
       }
       function my_header_width($size){
          return 700;
       }
       ```
   
 * I have put this code on top after <?php
 * than you make change to size I have 100 by 700
    you will have change the theme
   name in the code.

 * Ok I have input the code in there.. Now what is it that I do with the image… 
   just put the image source code in the header file or try the cropping through
   the header editor

   really confusing

 * what size is your logo as you might have to change the sizes couple of places
   as that image height is controlling your menu as well.
 * Do you have a way to make a transparent logo with yours in a layer or create 
   a logo on the red background and have your logo in layer if not can you send 
   the logo and I will make it for you you can click on my name to go to my website.
 * The sizes can be changed but than you will have to change your menu in style.
   css.
