how do you produce a bg shadow like this one? im just wondering where to start. If i were to produce a layout that has a center width (the grey portion) with a center fixed with of 760px, what is the easiest or correct way to align the image ontop of the pattern?

I can't see your image...
Use a ruler (as in rules and guides in Photoshop). Zoom in, and make sure you have your info palette open, so you can see exact pixel locations.

Hey ned,
is it possible to have photoshop display exact pixel coordinates when using the ruler guide?

Create your space.
Place a rectangle on said space in a new layer. Use the layer effects to product the "outside glow".
Center said rectange on space by selecting the rectange and the background layers and using the align toolbar for center.

Right-Click on the Ruler (if they're not displayed, then hit CTRL/CMD-R), and choose Pixels.

sorry again, but can u adjust the pixel increments or is it by the default 50pixel increments.
Zoom in.
CTRL/CMD and + (preferrably on the keypad)

change mode from grey scale to rgb etc
if you bring in a greyscale image you have to change mode
