1. Describe how using Camera Raw to adjust your color settings, sharpening and vignetting features to improved your images.It's an excellent way to work! One of the best reasons is because it doesn't change the original image. It also works beautifully and without loss of image quality.
2. Describe how you will use the Preset feature in the future.
The Preset feature would be an incredible way to batch process a large number of photos taken at the same time and in the same lighting conditions. It would save you a bunch of work and keep the photos all relatively the same. Then you could go back and make minor adjustments to individual photos that may need it.
3. What was your intent for results by using the dodge, burn and sponge features?
The intent was to blend areas, or lighten harsh lines. The results were good.
4. Explain how you decided which healing tools to remove imperfections of images.
Trial and error. There are many choices and I enjoyed exploring them. The tools that didn't leave evidence that they had been used are preferred most of the time. Sometimes it's fun to intentionally create a "look" with the tools...
5. What challenges did you experience in the process?
Doing the work in a way that wasn't obvious it had been done. Plus I had chosen photos that were challenging. But that is how I'm learning to use PhotoShop, and learn it as well as I am able.
6. What keyboard shortcuts are you using regularly now?
As many as I can put together, they are great. Of course I have been using Command Z quite a bit! P, C, Command W... I use a dozen or so. Mouse shortcuts are also helpful...

It's interesting that some of the photos, the rhodies in particular, do not show the difference once they have been uploaded. I can look at the web page locally and there is a definite difference...
