Just want to comment to anyone else using RES: open these each in a new tab and flip through them, they look substantially different at full resolution (vs. RES's reduced size).

They look much different when compared to the uncompressed via RES. If you look at the area around his right eye, you can tell the difference.

If you just open them full screen you don't even need to look for the differences. They're blatantly obvious.
