1. Using Camera Raw to adjust color settings was very helpful -- I think it's easier than using the settings available in Photoshop itself, especially the white balance tool. I like that it updates the image with each change you make so you can immediately see the results.
2. I'll use the Preset Feature to adjust colors in a series of pictures from a particular event or trip, so that I can easily apply those settings to all of the pictures with similar lighting. It saves a lot of time compared to having to try to get it right each time separately.
3. My intent for results with the dodge, burn and sponge features was usually for brightening the images, especially around the eyes.
4. I decided which healing tools to use mostly by trial and error -- if one didn't really work well I tried the other. But I noticed that the Spot Healing brush worked for most of them.
5. One challenge I experienced with the Spot Healing brush was that I couldn't use a "brushstroke" especially under the eyes; I had to dot the brush as if it were makeup. If I tried to use a brushstroke, it replaced the entire area with the contents of the similar size area near the clone source point.
6. I'm using Command + and Command -.
