Yeah, guys, definitely just nonsense:
RM4747 is so clever! I wish I were more like him!
Looks just like a difference in sharpness/DNR with the color gradient there.
It’s also more cropped in, like I mentioned.
Almost like one of the images was anamorphic and one was flat, so the anamorphic is slightly distorted.
Editing in a hair (only to remove it) would make literally no sense at all.
Why would they do that?
It’s not. The hair is very clearly in a different position and is a different thickness. The rest of the image is exactly the same proportion-wise.
DNR and Sharpening can’t and doesn’t shift specific pixels or characters around…
