One problem is that if you look at the Jupiter images before they were rectified, they look like sausages, thanks to the motion of the spacecraft. Also, while Jupiter was nearby, and hence large, a scan took about 40 minutes. Given the planet's fast rotation, that means a significant shift. The rectification process, while it made it look the correct shape, is therefore quite skewed.
