It depends on where you are located, what priorities you have for the print, and whether your photograph is on film or in digital format.

The businesses below all do photo enlargements. Some offer more paper paper and size choices than others (e.g. canvas, fine art paper etc). A shrinking proportion do film-based (i.e. "wet" processing) printing, and these increasingly cater to professional photographers with fancy films and formats.

Assuming you have a digital image, you may want to consider the businesses below:

In the US, If you want to save money, try Costco ( http://www.costco.com/PhotoCenter/PhotoCenter.aspx ). They have centers in a variety of places.

If you want extremely high quality, definitely consider a professional lab such as Westcoast Imaging in California ( http://www.costco.com/PhotoCenter/PhotoCenter.aspx ). These Guys offer a huge range of choices, including film processing.

Giantprint in Australia also produce high quality prints, but specialize in larger-size photo enlargements ( http://www.giantprint.com.au ).

In the UK, consider Fotoview, who does film-based developing amongst other services ( http://www.fotoview.co.uk/ps_enlargement.asp ).

You might also want to checkout Acecam ( http://www.acecam.com ), as I did, which is an old site known to list reputable printers/photo centers.

I hope this helps a little :-)

How can you find a place that will enlarge copyright photo?

There are a few legal ways to reproduce a copyrighted photo: * Find the original photographer and have them enlarge the photo * Have the original photographer sign a copyright release, authorizing you to make copies * If the original photographer cannot be found, most photo labs will have a form that allows you sign off saying so and depending on the circumstances, they may make copies or enlargements for you A copyright on a photo can last up to 75 years. Anyone who takes a picture owns the copyright to that photo. The reason most stores will just turn any copyrighted professional pictures away is because the fines are so steep that it is not worth it to take a chance. Professional photographers take the time to set up for the picture, arrange the subjects, etc. so that is why they mark their pictures "Copyrighted." It's only fair that if you created something that you should be the one that gets paid to reproduce it.
