@72randy
If you want high quality images you will never rely on the WordPress.com cropper as using it will result in loss of image quality. Prior to uploading any image into your blog you will optimize and presize every image in either a desktop image editing software or online image editing software to fit the space you intend to use it in, regardless if it's a header image, or an image in a post, page or sidebar. Doing that means you will also not be wasting your space for images and other media or experience any problems with images that you must troubleshoot to correct.

Actually I thought about it and found I could use the image from the Media Library. I dragged it to the desktop then chose it and voila! Got what I wanted though the picture is not as sharp as I would want.

You can not add header from media library. You'll have to select one from your computer.

I changed the theme at my site and want to ad a header from my Media Library. I can't seem to figure out how to do this though I must have at one time. Thanks.
