template resizing hero images
Client had a budget and we had to use a template for their website. The template keeps resizing the hero image (main pic below business name). It cuts off about 2" on the right of each image. I called tech support and was on with them for over 1 hour and they could not figure out why. They even pulled in level 2 tier tech support. They did not have a solution for me. Hoping one of you can help me out.
For instance, this page is of a fireplace. I will include the original image that I uploaded so you can compare what it is supposed to look like. Tech support was unable to give me dimentions for the image.

Here is css from template. I am not sure what to edit.

OK. I see now. Wouldn't it be easier to just change this from 780 to 980 rather than saving images with a 200 px white band on the right?
In a perfect world, yes. But I'm not 100% clear on how this template is constructed and I think the 980 width is set elsewhere in the CSS and if you start changing things, the whole house of cards may collapse. So while it's always better to actually fix the issue, it's also easier just to mimic what the template author is doing to get the desired result.

I created a hacked image (200 px white on right) and uploaded image. It appears fine in template (earlier it was not looking good in template), BUT it still isn't displaying properly on the web. I cleared my cache and history. Are you able to view outlet plug on right of fireplace pic?

Nope. Inspecting the page shows a different image being displayed via CSS:
body#page_fbdba092-164e-40
background-image: url('images/bg_s5p5.jpg');
}
Is there some form of slider or rotator in the mix?

Grrrr
No, there is no slider or rotator.

You sure about that?

i didn't put it in there and there was no slider in original template
Well, something is assigning background images to page IDs via the CSS and that's overwriting your attempts to set an image. Find that and you solve this issue. You may need to go through more of the CSS files and check those javascripts to make sure they aren't dynamically writing things.
custom.css
.sf_extra4 {
background-image: url('images/bg_iypg.jpg');
}
theme.css
.sf_extra4 {
float: right;
display: inline;
width: 780px;
height: 300px;
background-image: url('images/796_main.jpg')
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}
Not quite. The original images should be 980 x 300 but because they are being displayed as background images in the theme, the "window" is only 780 x 300. So 200 pixels appear to be cut-off because the rest of the HTML sits on top of it. Your header4 image is the wrong initial size. Create a new image at 980x300 that centers the fireplace and use that, not 700 x 350
