Since some people here asked for how I do the soft filters on the wide screens. Here it goes.

It's quite simple.

1. I resize the screengrab to 1204*900



2. Then I crop it to 1200*400



3. From 2 I create layer A by adding contrast and bringing brightness down



4. From 2 I create another layer B where I first add contrast, then blur it and finally add brightness to it



5. I add Layer A and B together to the following result



6. Finally I add some sharpness ... and I'm done !



Hope this helps .

Add is used in compositing packages. I used shake. Don't know in photoshop. Must be possible there also with layers.
