if you have photoshop or photoshop elements then load in the photo and use image - size and increase the number of pixels width - photoshop will do the rest then save as

Can the sender send them again in a higher resolution.

Quite often if I am sending photos on an email I reduce the size to be able to post them quickly but if only 1 or 2 needed I keep the originals at full size which I can send if wanted  ;)

Click on 'image' (at the top of the screen) then pick 'image size' from the drop down menu

A image size popup will appear and the first entry box will be 'width', just increase the number in this box then press 'ok'  doubling the number in the box will double the width of the image photoshop will automatically adjust the height for you

Depending how sharp your picture is..I would first Scan the photo then put it into photo shop and see how far you can enlarge it be for losing definition of the picture....If that helps...Chris
