Lifetouch make alterations to McKinney High School yearbook

A yearbook for McKinney High School students turned out very different to what they expected recently when the photographs were altered by national photography company, Lifetouch.

The yearbook, containing over 583 students' photographs, featured many alterations from the originals. Some girls' heads ended up on boys' bodies and vice versa, necks were stretched, outfits were altered and one girl's clothing even appeared to be missing not to mention one girls' arm. At least 34 students had someone else's body and while multiple other students had the same body and clothes.

Lori Oglesbee, Yearbook advisor for the school told Dallas news, “I cannot even figure out why they did some of the things that they did.” The school said they were "appalled" and called the changes "unethical".

Lifetouch, a Minnesota based studio company have reacted by saying that they were trying to comply with guidelines given by the school, who requested that the students had approximately the same size head and eyes at approximately the same level.

“It is not the Lifetouch standard practice to alter images for yearbook publications,” said a spokeswoman to the newspaper.

The company will now have to reprint 1,100 year book costing them around $85,000.
