I had a problem changing the header picture. Thanks a lot about Kubrickr. I hope I can find a suitable header

anusharaji,

I don’t see why or how changing the image would have any affect on seo.

Ah!

Terry, you are a star - you set me on the right path. I don’t know how, but I appear to have a darker version of the Kubrick images than normal, well spotted!

I uploaded up-to-date images, and all is well now.

thanks,

Tom

Oh, I did notice your background gray really doesn’t match the gray boundary on at least my kubrickheader.jpg. Not sure if you changed the background color or what. But that is probably the reason for the mismatch problem you are having from kubrickr. I expect the only way around that is the change the boundary color. You should be able to do that with GraphicConverter too.

Great Terry,

I haven’t tried GraphicConverter - I must try that.

Thanks for the tip - I’ll let you know how I get on,

Tom

That’s funny I just put my own picture over the blue header myself a couple days ago. I had some pictures already available to me. What I did to get the appropriate matching border is the following (note this is on Mac OS X):

1. Using “GraphicConverter” crop or resize the photo to the appropriate size (760×200).
2. Under “GraphicConverter” open the original kubrickheader.jpg
a. using the magic pen at a tolerance of 70 select the white part of the border
(this should highlight both white and gray parts of the border).
b. then do
3. Go to your picture under “GraphicConverter” do postition the border
correctly.
4. Save and ftp new graphic where you would like.

I initially used the “personalheader.jpg” place holder but found out that is really used
when you want to have a photo on top of the header.

Anyways, I found GraphicConverter under Mac OS X good enough to do most picture manipulations.
