There aren't operators intervening most likely, but the data is far from
a simple "photographic image." The thing is intensity adjusted, noised
filtered, and geometrically remapped before it comes out in the format
that you see it in weathermation or whatever.

I understand that there is image processing to make it suitable for
presentation in a given format. But that doesn't mean that there's someone
dropping clouds from the picture when they are there originally.
