In the comments section of Full Screen Featured Image Background Parallax section on Posts and Pages in Altitude Pro tutorial, a user asked:
So cool to be able to do this – thanks for the tutorial, Sridhar! I successfully changed functions.php to let me apply this full-screen image to only certain posts or pages (based on a tag for posts, a custom page template for pages).

Does anybody have ideas about how this could be done? It wold be super cool!
