My header image is distorted. Here's the original image, it looks fine. I saved it in a png format, I don't know what's wrong.
Can anybody help?

Header Image

There is a recognized loss of clarity when headers are uploaded that, at this time, cannot be improved.
-
if you crop the image down to 780x200 (the original is 780x225) then wp.com should use the image as-is, so it doesn't get compressed.

How does one change the header to an image?

I cannot tell if you have a wordpress.com blog or not because your username is not linked to it. So if your blog is self hosted or if you have hired a web host you are in the wrong forum and ought to be here instead http://wordpress.org/support
If you are a wordpress.com blogger then it would be helpful to know that only some themes allow for a header and all have specific sizes. Basically you locate an image and put it into microsoft paint or photoshop and size it correctly before uploading it. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/08/which-themes-can-i-add-a-header-image-to/

I thought we couldn't use *.pngs as header images around here?

This is what the FAQs says:
What filetypes can I upload?
Currently you can upload the following: jpg jpeg png gif pdf doc ppt

P.S. txt is missing from the list -
That's for uploading to a post, not for the header images.
-
It is because it converted it into a JPEG. If it is not originally a JPEG it will get fuzzy and distored. I hope this helps!
-
So if it's "no" to uploading png files to be used as headers maybe we need to have that stated in the FAQs.
