Hi Helen, Unfortunately no-one can create something out of "nothing" - if the operator says they will lose definition if bigger than 8x10 then anyone else is going to have exactly the same problem. Your problem appears to be that you have had digital copies done in the first place and obviously that means a limited number of pixels, hence the reason they can't be blown up to poster size. Your best option is to photograph the original (NOT digital unless you have an extremely high powered digital camera although even then that may not be sufficient). You then can get your poster print done from the negative. You are still likely to get a grainy result but not as bad as trying to blow up a digital image. Hope that makes sense. Regards ............
