You could try Crop Tool with Content-Aware function is the best solution in Photoshop Version: 19.1.1 or later. This is an automated procedure Photoshop calculate itself to make the size bigger or lower without losing quality.

You need to provide more details.

How big did you print the photo at?

How many pixels (width and height) was the cropped photo?

Let's say you're shooting full size jpegs with your Nikon. They're maybe 4000x3000 pixels. You're using a wide angle lens to shoot your family in Disneyland so you decide to crop in on the people and crop out that huge castle they are standing in front of. Your crop reduces the image size to, say, 20% of the original, 600x800 pixels. Using a 300 pixel/inch printer, your image will be 2x3 inches at full rez. If you scale it up to fill a 4x6 inch printing area, you are expanding each pixel 400%. You are just making the pixels bigger; you don't get any more pixels.
