Getting to the point, I'm wondering, are you recreating the drop shadow on the credits like what mverta posted? I ask b/c, while I have no intention of arguing whether those are authentic of not (as I don't know for certain what his source is) I DO know for certain that not all prints had that. I've seen the end credits of a 1977 35mm print that absolutely did not have the drop shadow. Anyway, sorry if I'm late to the game. I was just curious about this. Can't WAIT for ver. 1.2 or 2.0 or whatever it is now, the stuff you've posted recently looks AWESOME!

I'm pretty sure his source is a 35mm print, and that what we're seeing is a slight misalignment in the layers of the text. The letters had one layer of blue and another in cyan creating a nice blue halo around the letters, the A long time ago - subs was done in the same way with a blue layer underneath.

I believe this theory is much more likely, explaining the differences between various prints. Dropshadow should really be a halo.
