I'm flipping from one tab to the other with both images loaded at full size, and they look exactly the same.
I meant it when I said barely noticeable. Even if you're looking for it, you might not see it on a cheap monitor or if there's too much glare in the room, but the difference is there.
I dunno why I went this far, but just for fun I tried an ABX test -- having the computer show me one of the two at random and guessing if it's the old or the new one -- 10 times and got it right every time. So, it's possible to tell them apart with the naked eye. However, I don't think I would have noticed it without doing a computer comparison to show me where to look.

I changed monitors, and yeah, I can see it now. It's so tiny I don't really see the value in making that change, but artists gonna artist I guess.
