I suspect that most (if not all) people who may claim to see the jets in the APOD image would not have done so if they had not been told that they are there.
I see it quite readily on my monitor, although it's subtle enough I'd probably miss it without it's being pointed out.

You should easily be able to see each transition in this step chart. Particularly important are the 5% steps between the end pairs (the rest are 10% steps). If you can't, and accurate color is important to you, consider getting a monitor calibrator (of course, low end monitors are inherently limited).
Unfortunately, as is often the case with APOD images, there is no color management information in the Saturn image, so it will generally not look accurate in your browser, or in most image display programs.
