Want to print out scanned image actual size

[Coco H]

I have a scanned in copy of my son's footprint saved as a JPEG. For obvious reasons I want to print it out actual size - ie preserving the original dimentions. However it is about 4 inches by 2 and bit and all photo printing services - simply expand the image to fit a stanard size picture - so the footprint wouldn't be lifesize.
I can't seem to create a new jpeg in say 6x4 size and pop on the footprint over the top.

Any ideas

Ask one of the nice chaps with Photoshop. Easy enough to do. Unfortunatley my copy is on the work PC so am unable to assist.

I have a simple fiddle. If you have Word, open a new document and insert a text box. Double-click the edge of the box to bring up 'Format Text Box'. Set the line to 'no line', set the size to the exact size you want, set the internal margin to 0.00. Click OK then click inside the box and insert picture from file, browse to the image, click Insert and print the document

That sounds very complex when written out but it's actually easy to do and the result is dead accurate.

Good work that man.
