1. If I think I have over edit/touch up and would like to see how it looks "in between", ie, perhaps slightly lighter, I would slide the opacity and see the different strength. I would stop sliding when I see a good balance.
2. If I am not sure about customer's reaction and may like to continue editing after showing them. I would use Save Session. File->Save Session. This option is not available from plugin.
3. Although PP can open RAW file, I seldom use it because of it limited control. I would use PS or Lightroom to open RAW file and from there, I use plugin to go to PP.
4. In my workflow, I open my image on PS, make a duplicate layer and use the duplicated layer for PP processing. Only after PP, I will continue to edit on PS. The original layer will be kept just in case it is needed.
5. If I need to make a composite photo, eg, combining body parts from different shots, I would do it before calling up PP. The different layers in PS need to be merged (and/or duplicated) before going to PP. Avoid transparency in PS before going to PP.
6. If there are more than one face to be edited in PP, avoid smoothing or blurring any part of the image before sending to PP.
... more to come
