There were kids wearing the same outfit, others who's necks were stretched out, and in Ester Olvera's photo for the yearbook, her face was placed on someone else’s body.

"At first I thought it was 10 students, then 40, by 10 o’ clock it was approaching 100," said Lori Oglesbee, yearbook coordinator.

Now school officials believe nearly 600 McKinney High School students had their pictures altered. The changes were made by a national photography company who is now scrambling to fix the problem, and so are students.

The yearbook staff will spend the weekend replacing the tainted photos before shipping it off again. Going image by image to get it right.

"I was pretty excited to see the book come out, because I've been working on it. When it came out, and a big thing like that, it kind of wrecked the whole thing," said Thor Lund, student.

This is second year in a row the high school's had yearbook problems. Last year, school officials say the same company accidentally destroyed the pictures and they had to be retaken, but this mistake, they believe, goes too far.

"Ethically we would never edit a photograph, if it was not appropriate, we would not use it, we would have the student retake," said Oglesbee.

Now the company has agreed to re-print the books, and foot the $85,000 cost.
