   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?

   The blog I need help with is sakalaa.wordpress.com.

   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.

   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.
