The images may look the same, but their sha1 sums differ.
I created hex dumps and looked at the diff of that, and most of the diff seems to be due to an offset. I have no image experience, so I can't say what is going on here.
One thing that stands out is that according to file metadata, it may be that these were created in rapid succession, and don't really contain any hidden secrets.
Someone with image manipulation/photoshop pls confirm.
Also, chances are this might be April Fools joke, and not an actual challenge. Although I think it would be pretty awesome if its a real challenge disguised as april fools :)

Hi Tim,
I had some time today and I decided to try your challenges.
You said two hints, but I have actually found three. Those are imagine some cypher-text sequences to decrypt.
But for now , I am basically stuck there. I have tried to open the images with a text editor and found some ID inside it, which I thought to be a key, but it is not (or I do not know how to match them correctly).

Interesting. What did the ID say?

Okay I rephrase... I investigated the two hints. I have one key and one cyphertext for each. Now I am trying to go further but still cannot decrypt the text.
PS: I don't have neither paint nor any image manipulation program...
