Help please. Should I resize first or last?

I am working with 8mb 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 8mb stage, or increase to 50mb and then make my changes there?
Many thanks for any help.

You must be joking.

There is no way you are going to get anything like good quality using that
degree of resampling.

If you were increasing the pixel count by adding other images onto the
original and making it larger, that would be acceptable.

You really should be starting out with an image much nearer to 50 Mb, which
incidentally is not considered very large nowadays.

My mistake Roy. I am starting with a 23mb file and not 8mb as stated.
However, my question still applies.
