    Hello,

    I've noticed that on the Ambiance Pro theme, featured header images appear low-res, as if they're stretched, on my browser. Until, for some reason, when I reduce the size of my browser window and the image 'pops' into a higher-res version.

    How can I make it so that the header image doesn't look so low-res in the first place?

    I've included a link to an example post.

    Hi asoon,

    I'm looking at your site on a 27" iMac and it looks fairly nice. You many want to check your configurations under Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives and make sure the option "Include the Featured Image" checkbox is checked and set to entry-image (800x400) from the dropdown. Nice site.

    Best,

    Mike

    Thanks Mike! Glad you like it.

    I'm looking at the setting now, and there's an additional one that says displayfeaturedimage_backstretch (2000 x 2000). Which setting is better for me? I have no idea what each means.

    I think I would experiment to see what looks better. I suspect the larger might be a little sharper but keep an eye on bloat and download speed especially with those larger images. Looking really good!

    I'll do that. Thanks Mike!
