Photoshop can do this, and there are dedicated programs (Genuine Fractals, etc) that supposedly do it better. This happens all the time in photojournalism because the current Nikon D1 series are 2.77 megapixel and that isn't enough for big pictures. The software really does a pretty good job in my experience.
Why would you do this? Well, if you need 250 pixels/inch and you are making a 16x20 print then you either create enough data to get that resolution or you get pixelation in your print. Needless to say a digital original with 5000 pixels of REAL DATA on a side would be preferable, but there isn't such a thing in 35mm right now (Kodak N14 is 4500x3000). DJE
