I agree, but no Mac here either. Enlarge the photo/art to the size of your desired project by whatever means you want (Kinko's, a home printer, opaque projector, the grid method, etc) and use that to make your templates.

As for programs that enlarge images, Publisher and Powerpoint both work, as do any of the graphic programs (Photoshop, etc). You can then print them (on several pieces of paper) and tape them together before tracing your outlines. Whether or not you have to reverse the image depends on how you plan to construct the piece.
