Not sure how they can get away with these artistically enhanced photographs of Jupiter. Show us what it'd look like with the naked eye from orbit, not these made up versions.

But we already have lots of pictures in the visual spectrum. We didn't even need to send a probe for that. You can use a telescope from Earth.

This is quite a good comparison

The JunoCam page makes Juno’s raw image data publicly accessible and allows contributors to upload modified versions of the images to highlight special features. The mission doesn’t have a team of scientists dedicated to image processing, writes Forbes’ Jamie Carter, so it relies on the work of citizen scientists to create stunning and artful interpretations of the data.

Agree. I hate this "further processed" crap. Processed how? At least show the unedited source image too.
