I'm working on a photo thats 640x480 (landscape) and need it to be between and 1519x1270 and 3038x2555 for a program that makes photo album-books. It's the front cover. I'm pretty good at photoshop, but never learned how to do enlargements. I use a Mac, and please use only photoshop. I know that you can't just simply enlarge the photo, so will someone walk me through the process? Thanks a million.

Unfortunately, "simply enlarge the photo" is all you can do. And then do some careful sharpening.

Some people speak highly of Genuine Fractals. I haven't used it, so I don't know what it costs, but I suspect it's not worth buying for just one photo.

pbone,

After looking at genuine fractals I would suggest using a free trial to up-res your picture to the desired level.

I'd suggest first trying Image Size in Photoshop. Just make sure to set the Resample method to Bicubic Smoother.
