 * As suggested, I am creating my own topic to get some help.
    When I upload my 
   header at size required it gets enlarged. Please help me solve this matter.

 * Just wanted to check – are you cropping the image to 2500 × 600 before uploading
   it?

 * hmm:
    [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/highwind-theme-header-cropping-issues](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/highwind-theme-header-cropping-issues)
 * Surely there must be a way to autoscale the header image so that it fits various
   resolutions?

 * I didn’t like the default ratio, so I modified the highwind-functions.php page
   to use 2000 x 400.
    Uploading new images will autocrop to this scale instead,
   and (I think) looks a lot nicer.
 * Your mileage may vary.

 * Any chance you could post the code you used in the functions.php to do that stephenc709?

 * [@stephenc709](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephenc709/)…Yes, that would
   be helpful. I have the same issue too with the header.

 * 2500 x 600 is too much for the header

 * I only changed the pre-defined variables. Perhaps these don’t exist in different
   versions? My specs are:
    Using WordPress 3.9.1 Theme: Highwind 1.2.4
 * Steps:
    From the WP Dashboard, go to Appearance -> Editor and edit the highwind-
   functions.php file. For me, I changed lines 16 and 17 to be:
 * ‘width’=> 2000,
    ‘height’=> 400,
 * Save the file. I then followed the routine steps to uploaded a new header image(
   which automatically crops using the new dimensions), and got a better look for
   my header.
 * Hope this helps.
    Cheers!
