Photoshop vs Real Cate Blanchett - Mike Cosper

Tim DeLisle, editor of Intelligent Life, commented on the un-edited photo of Cate Blanchett, saying:
When other magazines photograph actresses, they routinely end up running heavily Photoshopped images, with every last wrinkle expunged. Their skin is rendered so improbably smooth that, with the biggest stars, you wonder why the photographer didn't just do a shoot with their waxwork.
 A part of the answer is probably this : (quoted from James K. A. Smith)
It's not so much that we're intellectually convinced and then muster the willpower to pursue what we ought; rather, at a precognitive level, we are attracted to a vision of the good life that has been painted for us in stories and myths, images and icons. It is not primarily our minds that are captivated by rather our imaginations that are captured, and when the imagination is hooked, we're hooked.
