You're partialy right.
1. yes I want to enlarge a picture from the height of 7mm to 45mm
and am ware that there will be a great loss of quality.
2. the tool I'm looking for should be cheaper than an Adobe PhotoShop,
perhaps freeware, and simlify the use
creating passport pictures.
I had hoped to find someone knowing such software.
I'll search the internet to see if I can find what I'm looking for.

I guess I don't understand your question. It sounds like you're trying to make
small pictures larger and that never works because of lack of sufficient pixels.
If you're trying to stretch 7mm to 70mm well, frankly, it's going to look like
crap.
When I'm cropping pictures for Legacy myself I have a standard proportion of
1/1.618, for no reason except that it's the Golden Mean prevalent throughout
nature. And if I don't proportion them consistently, charts in Legacy look
'funny'.
Then I can re-size them smaller, for instance if I want consistent dimensions of
100 pixels by 162 pixels.
So, it's a combination of setting a 'selection size' for cropping and then
re-sizing.
I don't know of any specific tool for the job because those are basic features
in any graphics program.
