Sorry, i forgot to ask Troy about his photoshop technique for upscaling:
You mention scaling by 1% and doing this 10 times. This equals a size increase of 10% or am i getting this wrong? If this is right, your original photo must be pretty close to your desired size to start with which doesnt sound reasonable to me. Isnt the whole problem that it is hard to get an original image that is 10 feet in size (for example)?
At any rate, I believe i can make the majority of the design elements in Illustrator but would like to add some product photos to the design which i guess would have to be raster images. I haven’t found a program that “traces” bitmap images with any real decency, which was another alternative i thought about for a few brief seconds… 🙂

Thanks for any clarification…

Thank you everybody for your comments and advice. What i am having to work with from a design perspective is largely up to me. The final size for the booth is 8ft.High x 10ft.Wide.
It would be nice to work with a product photo or two (which i can take the photo for) but i only have an 8megpix sony digital camera and i dont know how I would make that work. I somehow had it in my mind that you had to use a portrait camera (film) and some kind of high quality scanner that handles negatives, that you could scan the negative in at 12000 dpi or whatever and when added to your 150dpi composite might be of a decent size. As i really dont have access to that equipment, i guess i was hoping someone would offer an alternative when using decent digital images. If any of you are doing similar things with decent digital cameras, please fill me in. Maybe i am just asking too much from that medium?
Thank you again for all your comments, i really appreciate it.
