You can certainly do that with some custom CSS. Here is an example that you can start with:

.header-image-link img {
	display: none;
}
.header-image-link {
	display: block;
	background: url(YOUR_IMAGE_URL) no-repeat;
	width: 390px;
	height: 273px;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

Replace YOUR_IMAGE_URL with a link to your image which is sized to 390 x 273 pixels. If you have any trouble, you should include a link to the WordPress.com blog you're working with, a link to your header image, and the code you've tried already in a reply.

Right now, I pasted my 390 x 273 header on a 984 × 242 white background and cropped the header so I get the size I want.

Hoping there's a better way to do this.

Custom header images are automatically resized to 984 × 242 pixels (Sundance theme).

I want the image to either be proportionately smaller or retain its original dimensions (390 x 273).

Can I do this?
