Enlarging images for print

In photoshop, a process of enlarging images is done little by little using bi-cubic. This is done in small steps to assure a closer fill in with pixels. What method does the GIMP use?

My goal here is to enlarge a 6MegaPixel (2000x3000) image from a digital camera to about 40" x 60".

Kind regards Kevin

GIMP uses whatever you tell it to use. Look for interpolation in the Image -> Scale Image options. You can change the default from File -> Preferences -> Tool Options -> Default interpolation.
