On each of my pages I have a header image and using the 'featured image' would work perfect but when i set a featured image nothing is showing up on page. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Again I am trying to set a full size featured image on a page - not a post.

Can you post your website URL in reply if you're not developing locally, that way we can look and try and work out what's causing the problem.

This is the only page I've set a featured image on so far
http://www.imgonnarelph.com/mha/?page_id=10
I looked in the code to see why it's not displaying - not seeing any issues though.
not doing anything wrong per se, but featured images don't display on pages by default. you can look at page.php and see that the_post_thumbnail() is nowhere to be found... nor is it hidden in something like thematic_content() b/c page.php just uses wp default the_content(). depending on where you'd like the image to appear you can add it to a hook or filter it into the the_content

@helgatheviking - Thanks so much!!! That's all i need - working perfect now!
@aaron, maybe you could share what you did in case someone else is trying to do the same thing.

I added this code to header.php just above the <main> element. I used a conditional tag so it doesn't show on the front page. All other pages will have a header image if the featured image is set.
<?php if ( ! is_front_page() ) {?>
<div class="header-image">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'full' ); ?>
</div>
<?php }?>
i get what i asked for. but 'round here we don't advise hacking the thematic core files. and i don't really even advocate creating a child header.php unless you are doing something really whacky.
you can do what you're trying easily from your child's functions.php
function kia_add_thumbnail(){
if ( ! is_front_page() ) {?>
<div class="header-image"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'full' ); ?></div>
<?php }?>
}
add_action('thematic_belowheader','kia_add_thumbnail');you will need to add another condition so it only will appear on pages and not on blog posts or archives

Helga - that code was exactly what I needed, thanks for posting!
I have a question related to it - if I wanted child pages of a parent page to display the parent page featured image, what would I use? I assuming it's using 'get_the_post_thumbnail', but I can't get it to pull the parent image.
Any clues?

the first parameter is post ID. you'll need to find the ID of the parent and use that in get_the_post_thumbnail.
maybe something like :
