Digital photographers often use a technique created by digital photography guru, and Photoshop User columnist Jim DiVital to increase the size of digital photos with very little loss due to blurriness, softness and even pixelation when increased. It is claimed, Ive never increase to such sizes so I personally dont know, that a 5x7 inch photo can be enlarged to an 18x24 inch poster size with little loss.

In Photoshop go to the image menu and chose image size. Make sure resample image is turned off. In the pop-up dialog change units of measure from inches to percent. Then type in 110, this will increase the image size by 10%. Continue doing this until you get the image size you want. 10% at a clip. Supposedly, it is reported, this does a great job. Ive tried it to smaller sizes and it works for me.
