 * Hi, I can’t get the header image to display correctly on the desktop. I have 
   tried resizing smaller, bigger, cropping, all different things but it is still
   zoomed too far in (cutting off the top and bottom of the image).
 * However, on mobile phones it looks perfect.
 * This is the free version, and otherwise I am happy with the theme. If I could
   just fix this one issue I would be set. Thanks!!

 * Hi jen915,
    I checked the image you want to use and is vertical (1920x2685px,
   which is why you see it properly on smartphones). PC screens are horizontal and
   therefore, if you use a vertical image, you will always see zoomed.
 * My advice is to take the picture you want to use, modify it using a graphics 
   software (there are also free online tool) and crop the image to 1920x1080px.
   
   It is the only solution, because, with the current resolution of the image, the
   theme will continue to zoomed to fit in the screen 🙂
 * Best Regards,

 * Although … the pic now looks better on desktop but on the phone it cuts off half
   the face. I can live with it .. but would prefer that somehow the picture would
   scale to look the same on desktop and phone. If it’s not possible though, I can
   deal.
