Ok -- I can confirm this new puzzle was "easy" for me... in a sense, easier -- the negative of the previous image did not work as well as this one's. Will join when my points get refreshed.

Cheers!

Gasp I just tried that - they pop right out! I just made the picture darker and was searching zoomed all the way in like a peasant 😂 Will have to remember that one!

Oh crap, didn know can change the picture like this.
After reading your comment, go did a search on google to negative a picture and the letters become clear as day.
I just zoom all the way and scroll slowly to find the letters.

Yeah, the symbols pop up way clearer on this one compared to the previous one. Thanks for the GA (again), it's unfortunate that the previous one got deleted because of the embargo.

Just gotta wait for my points to refresh to join, but just want to say again that I enjoyed the original puzzle a good deal.

Was the most complex one I've solved here since joining the site. Look forward to any future puzzles you make!

Hey Almeck, glad you liked that one - it was a bit lazy and a bit easier than future ones ;)

See you on the next one!

Thanks for redoing the giveaway. Didn't understand the hint for the previous solvers so I just did the new one instead. ^^

I will echo Almeck's sentiment; I enjoy your puzzles even when I don't end up entering the giveaway.

I went through all the links for the previous puzzle and didn't see how I could use that info to get here, so I solved this one. This one was much easier. The only issue I had was that the image was really big and the characters were really small, so it was hard to find them.

Hey AllTracTurbo - It's barely as puzzle at all - some difficulty had to be somewhere ;)

Oh, it was easier than I though, messed with curves and contrast, but negative was enough I see.

Also, was the old key had to be used on the puzzles url from 2solve or rearrange them? Now I'm really curious about it

Thanks again for the puzzle and the GA, love things that make me think

The old key is the hex color of the letters used in the new one. If you have a tool that allows you to select/highlight a specific color the letters pop right out.

There will be music puzzle's in the future, I'm sure. Ideas brewing for at least two.

Phew, made it \o/ You cannot imagine my relief when finding 5 things was enough 😅

Got here the new way, couldn't figure out what to do with the old key. But I did put it in here https://www.color-hex.com/color/f0f615 and saw the colour was the same as the picture, still not sure if that was a coincidence, and didn't know what to do with the other numbers there.

I'm glad with this new picture that once you find one letter the rest are not too hard to find. The f6 in the previous one evaded me for sooo long, I checked that door so many times before it finally jumped out at me.

Thank you for remaking this :)

The new letters are the only pixels of the color you found. Selecting/highlighting that color makes them pop out directly.
Good luck Sariaaa!

Ohhh interesting, thank you! I would never have thought of that, because I didn't know that was even a thing - I did notice they were the same colour so took the image into paint and tried to use the fill tool on the background lmao 😅

I'm just glad I didn't need the visual acuity of a mantis shrimp this time 😉

Can anyone tell me what to do with old key pieces to get here?

The old key is the color code for the hidden letters in the new one. You can find them by looking for them, or just selecting the color in question.

The puzzles are the real game, the GA is just a bonus, thank you again for the good time!
Also, was there a way to get here with the old key, or was it just a clue to look in the same places with the new image?

Welcome sirnathaniel - the key from the last puzzle encodes the color of the hidden letters in the new one.
Good luck!
