Hate to be the one to pour cold water on this but no one bothered to
point it out before...

Mounting canvas 1 meter wide requires you to sacrifice up 70 mm of image
on each side if it's going to be displayed like most canvas prints are,
wrapped around the edge, 3D style.

You'll need to lift the shadows too, unless you like painted on hair.

Enlarge the image at your own peril. Professional print centers have
much better software for interpolation than Photoshop. Put your faith in
the printer. Try Office Works or Rabbit to see how bad it can look then
go to a pro who specializes in art reproduction.

Send the original image with instructions lest you damage it during
editing and get less than satisfactory results... If you are going to
shell out $350 you might as well maximize the chance of getting ultimate
quality back.

Or... Do what you want with it and pay $200 at Rabbit or Kmart. They
last a couple of years before the moths get them.
