New images from humanity's most powerful space telescopes the legendary Hubble telescope and its successor the James Webb Space Telescope reveal unprecedented detail in this magnificent distant spiral galaxy. It's 32 million light-years away.
The over 30-year-old Hubble telescope views light we can see (visible light), while the Webb telescope views a type of light with longer wavelengths (called "infrared light" that isn't visible to us. Together, these instruments gather bounties of data that reveal new insights about what lies in the distant cosmos.

Ordinary software such as Lightroom is one.
Probably extra massaging of data from Webb occurs due to format.
