Atmosphere: The atmosphere is built up using sprites, environment lights and color correction.
Grain effect and black bars: Yes, these are made in Photoshop. The screenshots have not been altered in ANY other way.

You can make a grain effect in source. Left 4 Dead does it.
But it needs some coding... HL2 doesn't do it, right? I think if they don't have idea how to add the grain effect, they won't have, because there's no full SDK for L4D, so they can't check how to add it.
You could ask valve what they did for such an effect, and if HL2 does it. They are pretty compliant with helping out the modding community. I think Gabe Newell will be able to forward your question to one of the coders/texture artists that pulled it off.
Valvesoftware.com?
Just select "Gabe Newell" in the list and send.
it's a simple post processing shader(li,ke bloom or color correction), that would not be very hard to add.
It's used in DoD:S also, so it's not just l4d.
So cool o.o
woW.....
Zoinks.
sweet
