A student editor of the yearbook manipulated another students photo, giving the other student a "joker" like facial expression. As of right now I do not know what the administration is going to do.

Asking for some basic uniformity in presentation doesn't seem to be such an odd request. I would guess ithe request was made in spirit to eliminate some of the tomfoolery highlighted in this story. Having been a yearbook editor many years ago, I can understand it.

Can you imagine looking at a page of pics where every single person's head was digitally manipulated to be the same size and were all looking in the same direction? But really, what's the point in doing that? You know you're going to get caught and lose your job....

How do you get from resizing and cropping to "another girl’s head was placed on what appeared to be a nude body, with the chest blurred"?
