I have a picture from years ago when I was playing around with HDR . Well a friend of mine's girlfriend really likes this picture and wants to have it printed on a canvas. She wants to send it to https://www.canvaspeople.com/
Can it be resize somehow to fit maybe a 11"x14" or any size ??

Thanks

We need more information. Is it a digital file or a print? If file, what pixel count (MP) and file size (MB)? But there is a good chance the answer is yes.

► Check the printer capabilities in DPI.
► Divide the image size in pixel by the printer DPI
→ If the image is too small, enlarge it to fit your requirement. (If you use OS CC make it a smart object first)
→ If the image it too large, reduce it (same as above if using PS CC)
→ In both cases adjust sharpness

If the image is good to go or after reducing/enlarging, make sure there is no detail that will ruin the enjoyment after a time.

You must have meant 11x14

Separate from resolution, you need to consider aspect ratio. This photo is close to the 4x6 ratio, meaning you probably want to look at 8x12 or 16x24, or have it custom printed to the composition shown. An 11x14 would cut off too much of your image. See the crop lines below:

It is what it is. Print to custom size or as 16x24 with just a tiny bit of border so you don't lose anything.

It's more of a cropping problem than resizing. You don't need to resize because the image has just about the right number of pixels for an 11x14 not more.

Or you can print the image to full height, and have extra white borders on the sides.

You don't have to stress - send the print lab the image at it's best (highest resolution, aka pixel count) and let the lab tell you the biggest print you can make. It will be an odd size, since it is a custom crop, but they will be able to help. The benefits of using a resizing program will be minima - you aren't enlarging that much, and you are printing on canvas.

That's backwards. You can print the image to full width and have extra white borders on the top and bottom.

The only problem is that the image has already been reduced from 16MP to about 9MP but it might look fine on canvass.

Any print, within reason, can be resized.
What size was the original negative/digital image.
If you change the original dimensions of the negative/digital image, you may crop off some of the sides of the original image.
For example, if your original image was 5:4, then that prints to a 8X10, if the original image was shot in a 3:2 format, then your prints will be 4X6 and 8X12
Either way there is the possibility that you may loose a little from both ends of you original photo if you print an 11X14 instead of an 8X12
GOOD LUCK
