try the graphic/contact sheet style of layout too where you put many smaller pics on a page. You'll be limited with the very large, one photo layouts, but with some creative altering and filter effects, you can do some of that as well!

Are you wanting to print all these photo's, or just trying to save them digitally again?
They might not ever be great print quality, or the same large size that they were before...
But like Cheeta said, it should be close enough to get smaller photo's for printing.

Here is the problem with trying to increase an image from 245x183 72ppi into something that is say a 4x5 image with 200-300 ppi, print quality.
When we ask PSP9 to increase the pixels per inch, we are asking it to "ADD" pixels that are not in the image. PSP has to decide which color the new pixels are and where they should be located. PSP does not know that the white on the teeth should not blend in too soon to pink for the lips....Thus it distorts, blurs the image...

Maybe this way would work better...
File>Print Layout
File>Open Template and choose which page LO works the best for your needs, then print them out in the best quality you can on your printer, then scan that printed sheet using 300ppi, and increase the scan size from 100% to 300%...see if that retains more of the pixel quality...I just did this with 2 -3x4" small older photo's and they turned out great and after I cropped them they were about 5x7's!!!
Worth a shot anyhow!!

PS. If you wouldn't mind, send me one of your photo's and I will play with it for you!
I love doing this sort of stuff... email it to trennemo@paulbunyan.net
Looks like I will be home again due to the rain we are having here!!
