Ernie, did I hear that you’re actually using an action? 🙂

Ernie, you gotta tell me how you did the effect in PS. It’s really cool.

The window screen effect on the main wide image? That’s not photoshop 🙂

The main image is a background image that uses the background-size property  
to scale with the browser window. I use elements in front to create a  
“window” that has a patterned png to cover it. So the main image is free to  
resize while the pattern remains the same
