Robert,

While I disagree with the advice you got about the blow up you can try Yale Labs in Burbank.

Be warned, it ain't cheap. Also if you went to a professional transfer facitility and did a supervised transfer you'll have much better control over density and color than having a blow up made.

The blow up will pick up contrast and depending on the original material (negative or reversal) the amount of latitude that's there will be limited.

Good luck.

John
