I wonder how much they’ve been enhanced before publishing.

There is an astronomy buff that takes photos through his telescope. He had some unedited photos that still look pretty cool with colors, etc.

The Webb images are from electromagnetic(?) devices that are “seeing” wavelengths that are not all visible to the human eye, so the various wavelengths are represented by a color that we can see.

I imagine that they have the raw data (wavelengths referenced to color) and then enhanced images where they run the data through the computer to smooth it, enhance it, etc.
