Suddenly when uploading pictures to make a book I get the message that the frame is to small. Not enough picksels to print a sharp foto. All my recent pictures have this problem. Made with two different camara's. How kan I enlarge the picturen using all necessary pixels.

On the screen of the computer the picture get smaller in stead of larger when clicking to enlarge.

 

How to solve?

I believe you are confusing pixels and pixels/inch here. 300 pixels is still a tiny image, and in most cases far too small for a book. Pixels/inch is not a measure for image size however. An image of say 1000 x 1500 pixels and 75 ppi is the same size as an image of 1000 x 1500 pixels and 300 ppi, so that cannot cause any warnings in the book module. So please explain in more detail, and if possible with screenshots, what the problem is. You initially said the message is that the frame is too small. The frame is the container for the image however, so that means this has nothing to do with the image being too small.

Are you sure the original images are not missing and you are using smart previews?

No. Pictures made (Sony and Fujifilm X5) have suddenly 75 pixels in stead of the usual 300 pixels. It is a (negative) miracle.

If the frame in the book is, for example, 3x4 inches, and your photo is smaller than that assuming 300 pixels per inch, (for example) 300x400 pixels (that's 100 pixels per inch), then you will get this message. So, please tell us the dimensions of one of these photos (in pixels, width x height) and the size of the frame (usually this is in inches or centimeters, width x height) that it is supposed to fit into.
