I think it's likely because this hasn't been processed by STScI but rather by a third party. The colour palette, for example, is very different from what STScI processed JWST images tend to look like (ofc that's just artistic choice here).
In any case the original science data will be available publicly soon enough so there'll be a bunch more people processing it (maybe even STScI).
Thanks for the explanation, I've been keeping an eye out. I'm an amateur astronomy and have done color work on my own images, but this one inspired me to take a crack at professional data.

Today's APOD: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230814.html, shows a reprocess of the data. The data might already be available on MAST. Good luck with the processing though; almost all professional...
Good luck with the processing though; almost all professional astronomical data looks terrible (from an astrophotography point of view): plenty of artefacts, banding (especially with NIRCam) and other minor defects to work around. I'd given it a bit of a try but damn there's a lot of work needed to fix those and I'm not particularly handy with GIMP.
Thanks! Haha, I'm basically going in blind with some intermediate Photoshop and Siril skills. When I find the time I'll let you know if I had any success.

I am continuously astounded by the beautiful images the JWST can take. I linked to the NPR story, but here is also the original press release by Manchester University:...

If somebody could hunt down the full image, I would be appreciative. I'm not in a position to hunt for it right now and all the news articles have compressed versions.
From the last line in the article, so I imagine full resolution images are not yet available
Thanks! I missed that bit and it explains why the NASA/JWST image gallery doesn't have it yet.
