MCKINNEY, Texas, May 18 (UPI) -- A miscommunication resulted in blurred or altered yearbook pictures for some Texas high school students, but the company says it will reprint the books.

Lifetouch National School Studios Inc. officials said its workers misunderstood a request by McKinney High School in McKinney, Texas, The Dallas Morning News said Saturday.

Lifetouch spokeswoman Sara Thurin Rollin said school officials initially asked that students' head sizes be approximately the same in all yearbook photos and that their eyes remain at a base level.

Lifetouch workers took that request too literally and altered several photographs by mismatching students' heads and bodies to meet the guidelines, Rollin said.

"Unfortunately, we misinterpreted what those guidelines were," she told the Morning News.

When the yearbooks came back from the printer, they featured male students with the heads of females, the newspaper said.

The reprint will cost the company $85,000.
