Lifetouch STINKS! Their site form does not match the forms they hand out to parents. They claim you can pay by credit card, but that you need an access code. Online they claim it’s on the form, but it isn’t. Then when you get online, they claim that this code only applies to their Expressions First club, which they don’t mention on their form.
How this company stays in business or why the schools always use them is beyond me.

I worked at lifetouch and I can honestly tell you John that yes they would do things like that. They are not the greatest company and if people were smart they would get pics taken at Olan Mills or someplace other than Lifetouch. When a mistake is made management lies their way out of it by firing or trying to fire someone else for it so they come out smelling like a rose. Well they are the guilty ones but don't want to look foolish (too late there) so they lay the blame on others. Stuff like that is not supposed to get past them but the truth is they can't be bothered with trivial things like that.

That was crap. I remember the yearbook lady that year required all photos to be altered to meet "Her" standards. If a kid wore an inappropriate shirt then she wanted it digitally changed on their body. She even approved the final images after the photoshop was done. I think she made them redo it like 4 or 5 times. I guess they missed some little things when re-editing over and over. I know I would probably miss something. What is crappy is that I don't think she ever told the students or anyone that this was being done. So when that girl got her head on another body it was because that teacher said that her shirt was inappropriate and she made those people change it in photoshop or something. I am glad I don't go there anymore. It's all very shady if you ask me..

It could be that they were just playing around and saved it to the wrong file. I work for Lifetouch and sumetimes people play around like that. We have orientation every year and are told not to do so, but people will do things like that. It could be that there wasn't a lot to do that day and they were just killing time to get some hours in.
Like, this time of year we are slow. Some of us drive a long distance to get to work and get there with nothing to do and have to go home without getting enough hours in to even pay for our gas because the management who of course isn't affected by short hours since they are salaried don't have enough courtesy to call and tell us not to come in, so people sumtimes drag the time out to get a little something on their checks.
