Aren't these just digital representations of the data the telescopes pick up? I think its all artificially enhanced.

This statement, while true, is often used to negate the usefulness/truthfulness of the Webb's photographs.

It helps to understand that every photograph you have ever seen was "artificially" enhanced/processed. Cameras do not see light like the human eye but through processing the image obtained by the camera through whatever processing is required one can produce an image that makes sense to the human brain. The image obtained by a film-based camera has to be processed for example. Most people don't hang family negatives on the wall.
