The problem of course is how much "graininess" you are willing to put up with in the enlarged version. Even digital has its limits.
Your best bet is to
1. start with the largest image you can (megabytes count),
2. then zoom in.
3. Crop the image (use Help to read how to do that with your software).
4. Resize using about 300 pixels per inch (again, use HELP to find out how to do that exactly) make sure you use Constrain proportions so that your image stays the same proportional size
You can get most images up to 8X10 with no problem.

Everyone's answer is correct. Are you talking about taking the 1) actual picture or 2) working with a xerox of the picture or 3) a program to enlarge the picture? Option 1 and 3 will allow you to manipulate the picture to get it clearer/sharper if you know how to work with the program/ camera. However, even if you don't, sometimes, having an image that is slightly out of focus can be a really interesting image...

If you have the photo on your computer (dont know if its a digital pic or regular) the use photoshop and crop the photo. You can then save it and print it - that way you can have the original photo and the cropped/zoomed in part of the photo available to print easily. I do this alot with my photos. I also sometimes remove or change some things in the photo using photoshop if it'll make the photo look better. Hope it helps

Certainly, you should have some sort of software that enables you to crop which parts you want to print, then you can enlarge it to whatever size you require.

You should be able to, if you have the facility to crop the picture, so that the printer knows which part to print.

Yes, but there will always a degree of quality degradation, the amount of which will be determined by any number of different factors.

Yeah that would be possible but the right amount of light also counts

Sure. You need some software to do this, though. Many use Picasa, which is free. http://picasa.google.com/
