We have a very old Mac running X-Rite color picker.

In Adobe Illustrator, how can one recreate the eyeball in this image?

It seems like somewhere between PS 2021 and 2023 the "sticky" notes icons left by the Notes Tool are much larger, and are obscuring parts of the image, especially when zoomed out. Every once in a while, it makes a "normal" smaller size note. This must be some sort of bug or bad implementation of a preference size for t...
