I truly hate enhanced pictures. it’s honestly no better than fake news... Subtle and basic enhancments I know are necessary but these clowns are just like the fake news media and have to out do each other at the cost of reality.

There is absolutely no way those rings are as bright or brighter than the damned planet. It would be sooooooooo much better if they dropped the Opacity of the ring enhancement to
15 or 20% of what it is in these pics... down right silly...

It’s more of a constraint than an enhancement. Webb sees mostly in the infrared, which we cannot of course. In order to see what Webb sees, the image must be altered by shifting the wavelengths higher into visible range. That doesn’t mean it’s fake. For distant galaxies which Webb was designed to see, it’s actually more realistic because that corrects for cosmic red-shifting.
