I'm not really sure I understand what you asked, but I suspect you should retouch it before you make any changes in scale or dpi.

I wish I could help you, but first I would have to understand you.

retouch first otherwise you're working with an unnessesarily large file. the original is big enough.

sorry.. my english its not as good as it should be.. hahaha, well lets see.. what I mean.. I need to make a design... the original pictures are at 300dpi, and 10"x8", I have to work it a little, then I have to print it a lot bigger... I have to make a poster for a stand display on an expo, the poster goes to 100"x40" and can be printed at 150dpi.. I just want to know the print designers advice.. should I make the retouch and design at the final size or as I got the pictures,.. thnx.. for not making jokes.. :P web designer never for print... everythings should ends at 72dpi and on screen.. hehe...

So you have an image that is about 3000x2400 pixels, right? Sounds like you should be retouching at that original size (its plenty detailed enough for any purpose), and worry about the print conversion later (in some situations you just send that file to the printer, even without any DPI metadata attached, and they work it out... you shouldn't necessarily be doing any resampling/resizing at all).
