I have a picture that I would like to have enlarged to fit a frame that I have. Do I need to go to a specialty store or would somewhere like Walmart or CVS be able to do it or send away for it to be done?
The picture is one that I took with my own camera. I also have it stored on a memory card.
Help! Thanks!

Much of the resulting quality will depend upon the resolution of the original digital image, and how sharp it was. Enlargements bring out every fault.
My first step would be to examine my original digital file. I would suggest downloading a program to de-noise the photo. I use Noiseware, by Imagenomic. It sharpens every image and reduces all the digital 'noise' caused by the resolution limits of the camera and the variations in lighting. When I started out, I used and still recommend the free (yes, free) Noiseware Community Edition Standalone 2.6 and used the automatic settings. It saves a new, cleaner version of your picture, leaving your original intact for future use. By the way, it also clears on one's complextion!

Then, I would upload that to the Walmart or CVS website (it's free) and order a print from there. The other suggestion is to download your new image to a flashdrive, CD, or a camera memory card. Take that to the store and try it on their self-service kiosks.
I hope this is helpful for you.

regular 4 6 photo enlarged 22 28 photo framing

That is a 25.7X enlargement (4x6 = 24 square inches, 22x28 = 616 square inches) so you'd better have a high resolution original (non-print) to begin with. Actually, the multiplier will be slightly higher since it will require cropping the original to fit the 22x28 dimensions.
Making an enlargement that big from a print will probably be disappointing to you if you can even find a lab that will do it.
An 8x12 print is still 4X as big as a 4x6. A 16x24 is 16X as big as your 4x6 but might be feasible IF you have it done from the original digital file.
IMO a 16x24 matted in a 22x28 frame would look much better than a print that filled the entire frame.
I have, more than once, had a 16x20 print made from an ISO 200 speed 35mm negative. That is a 232.7X + enlargement due to the cropping factor. Needless to say, my negative was very sharp.

Would you consider getting a 16x24 enlargement? This is at least a multiple of 4x6, so you would not lose anything to cropping. You would lose about 15% off of one end of your image if you went all the way to 22x28. Maybe it can stand that and maybe not.
Anyhow, 16x24 is available from a few sources, including Mpix.com, where a regular print will cost you $17.99. Then you can either take the print to a framing shop and have a 22x28 matte cut or do it yourself.
22x28 is kind of an odd size. It sort of close to the 4:3 ratio of a typical point and shoot digital camera, though, so maybe you would like the resulting crop better than your 4x6 print, as long as you have it on your memory card.

Where To Get Photos Enlarged

wal mart can only print up to 8*10. what you're talking about would be poster size printing.
I have never bought anything from these guys but it seems pretty reasonable.

you can't upscale a 4*6 photo to 22*28. it will look like absolute sh*t. always use the original digital copy. if you use high quality interpolation and your original photo is over 4-5 mp or so, I think you will be all right as far as dpi/quality. it's $20 to get a poster that size. they don't make that exact size but it's bigger so that's usually better.

Everything depends on the quality of the print. I would doubt, however, that you would get a 22x28 from a 4x6 print and it have any quality at all. What I would do is to see how much you can enlarge it without destroying detail and then put it in a frame with a mat.
Since you are saying that it is on your memory card, I would start with that since the print is already second generation, but unless you are really pushing large pixel amounts, it is not going to make it.

Go to a ritz camera center they will have an epson enlarger for you. you can bring in your memory card and see how big it can go. the print can be any size with a maximum width of 24 inches. The file only has to to be around a 6 megapixels picture. It should be ok.

A 4x6 inch print is in the portrait position, vertical. A 6x4 inch is in the landscape position, horizontal. However they are all just called 4x6 or 5x7 or 8x10, the smaller number first
