The learning curve is a lot about language. What we were trying to change is called header image. I imagined that as a header with one of those big banner pictures across the screen. As I received help, I was told about a logo and a retina logo (had to google that one). It's not supposed to be an image thing at all, probably - as a matter of fact an image can look real silly on a big screen. I'm starting to get it.

Work in progress. Don't know how to do it un-live. Haven't learned how to work FTP, seems complicated.Erin, when I went to support for the same problem, they kindly said that such 1 on 1 instruction is not possible. I understand that.
But, very nicely, they gave me this (I had the problem with Genesis Sample and then bought my current Parallax child to see if was any easier - it’s not. Adjust snippet to your name and sizes):
For example, to make the header image show in its full size and centered, you can add following code at bottom of your child theme's "style.css" file:
(You can locate this file at "wp-content/themes/parallax-pro/style.css" on your web hosting and to edit it, can use hosting account's file editor, any FTP program or WordPress's file editor in admin -> Appearance -> Editor)
.header-image .site-container .site-title > a {
height: 140px;
width: 100%;
max-width: 720px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Good luck. Let me know if it worked - I haven’t done it yet.

Thank you for your response. It is encouraging. I have been able to do some CSS customization, changed the default font, header size.
There is quite a bit of a learning curve. A lot of it is terminology I'll just have to get used to. For example, header image and logo seem to be interchangeable in my situation and to me they seem very different. I'll have to learn the language.
Before getting Genesis I was looking at building a theme from scratch, which sounds way harder than what I thought first thought the Genesis system is. But the scratch building seemed more straight forward. Maybe it's because it is from zero, whereas this system assumes quite a bit of previous knowledge.
Yes, I will stick with it for at least the three remaining weeks of my trial period - I'm spending quite a bit of time on it, trying to get my sites up.
Thanks again for your help.
