Subject: Why do their heads look too narrow, or wide

Is there an active newsgroup that's good for graphics, art, or computer
graphics?

On the theory there isn't, I'll tell you my question.

I belong to an organization that has membership cards, and last year
they added photos to the membership cards.

If I wanted my picture added, they insisted that I send in a high
resolution photo, even though the picture is only about 1" square.  Does
this make sense?   They said their card-making place said to insist.

I didn't have a hi-def picture, just one from scanning a passport
pictuer on my home scanner.

At any rate, when the card came, the picture looked great, the color
looked great, there was plenty of detail (to the extent one can see that
in 1" square) but my head was squeezed together horizontally.  Some
people might have a head as narrow, but I don't.

I don't see how this could be related to high definition but otoh, we
have two anomalies and I don't want to assume it's a coincidence.  Might
they be related?

Finally, they sent me a brochure with some of their more hot-shot
members, and maybe 20% of them look like their heads are squeezed too.
Of course I don't know them and maybe they really look like that.  One
guy looks like his head has been widened!!

I found a picture of two women in this brochure and an earlier letter.
She actually looked normal in both of them, and were it not for the ones
that look abnormal, I'd not know which is the accurate picture, I think.

What's going on?

Should I tell them?  I think the full color glossy brochure cost a lot
of money.  If I knew they were going to reprint it, I'd tell them before
they did it, but I don't know and I won't know.   WRT membership cards,
it's not like it really matters if our heads are distorted.  Mostly I'd
like to understand how it happened.
