Photo Enchancement

[Raced_out_Computers]

Hello
So I have a question relating to Picture Enchancement.

I recently took a picture of my niece on my iPhone that was honestly a one in a million shot. She is absolutely beautiful in the picture and I was thinking it would be a nice Mother's Day present blown up and framed. The problem is I know the picture quality isnt the greatest because of the phone. I was wondering if there was anyway to touch it up and make it look better so I could go about professionally framing it. Any help /advice is appreciated in advance.
Thank You
James

In Photoshop, your bread and butter are the curves function (ctrl+m), and unsharp mask or smart sharpen...careful not to overdo it...always keep a copy of the original so you can start fresh if you don't like the result.

as for printing size, here is a good rule of thumb. 300ppi is ideal, but you can probably get away with 200 or maybe even 150 if it's in focus, relatively sharp, and must be printed big.
