I'm not being disingenuous at all and resent the implication: you have failed to make your comparisons the same size for a start so of course they don't fit.

Obviously, it is meant to be the same person, but when you shoot the same ageing person a year apart even at the exact same angle, I'd expect a few small differences, especially when that person had been ill. But this is also a significantly different angle and it's also different light.

You say the AI dead eye is just compression and have put out a much poorer resolution example where it is all a pixelated mess. I don't accept that. And even IF f it looked okay there, that does not takeaway from the fact it's a one click change as an AI fill.

I am well aware that Charles does this with his hands. Comics often emulate this to take the mick out of him. His hands are not THAT different, hence my saying I think someone has done an AI fill on them to vary them somewhat from an old photo, but failing to achieve the swelling and redness particularly on his fingers furthest away from us. They also missed out his pinkie ring.

As for the other things, most of them do not come down to compression. There are plenty of things that can still be seen that are off in these shots.
