Improving an unclear photograph without a negative


Is is possible to do anything with a photograph (ie make a clearer copy) if I only have the picture and not the negative? I have a very important picture that I wanted to make more clear and to enlarge because it is very dark and unclear, but the negatives were lost. If it is possible, who do I go to? Thanks in advance for your help.

  Here's one suggestion. Scan the photo in with a flatbed scanner (or even better, have a development studio make a larger copy of the photo, and scan that in). Now you can use PhotoShop to perform a sharpening, brightening, etc. Then order a print of the digial photo through Ofoto or Shutterfly.
