Perspective (this is a view from up/downsides, where the clouds/atmosphere behaves differently), and, I presume, different colour processing (fitting the colour spectrum into what is visible to the human eye, which is not necessarily straightforward).
It doesn’t give much info for the specifics of how it was processed:
This processed view enhances cloud-top texture and reveals swirling filaments, compact vortices, and bright high-altitude clouds embedded in a chaotic flow.
It does list the source data for processing as this:
You can see that it’s a shot from one of the poles. Also, keep in mind that while the patterns in weather last a long time, they aren’t set in stone. The way Jupiter looks slowly changes over time, just like any other planet. Even the Big Red Spot hasn’t been there forever, and will eventually disappear.
