You didn't miss the wonderful smile! (Had you used the X-T1 with an AF lens and 
turned facial recognition on . . .)

This is my first attempt at editing an image in Photoshop.  I have a lot to 
learn.

When the Raw file first pops up in ACR, although the interface looks wildly different, with the categories of tools organized in tabs, rather than drop down menus, all the same sliders and such that you may have been used to in PSE or LR are there and do the same things.

Basically, you can do any non-local adjustments you could do in LR - before going on into PS. That's not how I work, but is certainly a valid way to edit; it's how Chuck worked. Adjustments to the Highlight and Shadow sliders are about the only thing in ACR that can't be done later in PS, and often with more control. WB is also often easier to do in ACR than later in PS, and those are all I personally do at that point.

Both NeatImage and FocusMagic have plug-ins that allow them to be used within PS, which is far smoother work flow, more convenient and should allow the EXIF to flow through into the output files.

Application of a bit of FM after downsampling for the web is almost always useful. FM itself only allows whole pixel radius steps. Sometimes, (maybe often) a setting of '1' is too much, but no sharpening too little. Applied on a duplicated top layer in PS, the layer Opacity slider may be used for finer adjustment of the sharpening effect.
