Should I resize first or last? - (Updated)

I am working with 23mb images that ultimately need to be increased to
50mb using PS bicubic. I am adding new layers like replacement skies
and flowers etc. and I need really good convincing edges. My query is,
for the best possible result, should I make my additions and changes at
the 23mb stage, or increase to 50mb and then make my changes there?
Many thanks for any help.

Many people do not have the experience or confidence to determine what the
important factors are in evaluating an answer. This particular question -
when to upsize - is not particularly well documented in the Photoshop
manual, nor is it possible to google for it. Furthermore, there is nothing
wrong with crossposting to appropriate groups, since this avoids having the
same question answered multiple times
Getting back to Richard's OP, my recommendation is to do your work on the 23
meg image, and save your edited version in a non-lossy format such as psd or
tiff. This will give you better performance, and the final result will be
equivalent. When upsizing, flatten the image if necessary and use bicubic
smooth, followed by a bit of sharpening with unsharp mask.

Are you unable to tell, when not busily crossposting, which is best all by
yourself?
