Not sure if this is "upsizing"

I found a "Sam's" cd yesterday and discovered some photos I took on my old film camera at Yellowstone years ago. I would like some advice on what I can do (if anything) to make them sharper, since I don't want to trash them.

What's the question?

I edited my post - there was a big discussion the other day about upsizing, size, dpi, etc. and I was wondering if any of these "fixes" could be applied to these

*My* opinion is that one of the de-jpeg utilities would be about your best bet.

The EXIF says these were processed in PSE5. We've come a long way since then.

Great shot of the donkey looking at himself in the mirror.

Scan them and use any of your PP programs to sharpen or alter. If you have access to a hi-res scanner there's quite alot that can be done. Went thru same process myself with 100's of kid's pictures taken in the 1980's & 90's

So....You've got the original prints? Or the negatives? Your initial post said "I found a "Sam's" cd yesterday....". I took that to mean all you had were the image files.

I have a CD from Sam's that I had my images put on when I turned the film in for processing. I never had prints - negatives are still here somewhere.
